Xelion UK Partner Day 2026: A Knight to Remember at Warwick Castle
On 15th September, Xelion UK hosted its most adventurous partner event yet within the walls of Warwick Castle. Warwick Castle brought centuries of history together with exclusive access, and it gave partners something even more valuable: proper face-to-face time with Xelion's product innovators and leadership team.
From the moment the drawbridge came down, partners were welcomed in and pulled straight into the spirit of the day. Teams joined forces for the "castle crusade", a mix of organised activities, a mystery hunt and challenges that had everyone exploring the grounds together, from the top of the tower to every corner in between. There were live shows to enjoy too, but the real value came from the teamwork itself. Days like this build the kind of collaboration and camaraderie that's hard to replicate over a video call.
Alongside the fun, the day gave partners a genuinely deeper look at the Xelion platform, both what's being delivered today and what's coming next. Hearing directly from the team about the advancements being made and the continued investment going into the platform gave everyone a clearer view of how they can keep building on the solutions they deliver to their own customers. That kind of insight is hard to get anywhere else.
As the day drew to a close, everyone gathered to celebrate the year's standout achievements. CEO Thijs van den Ende opened proceedings, Operations Director (UK) Will Scully shared insights into the latest product developments and what's on the roadmap ahead, and Managing Director (UK) Dave Reynolds closed things out by reflecting on the achievements and success of the year across the network. It all led into an evening of dining and drinks in the castle's Great Hall, a fitting way to round off the day.
Partners including Abzorb, Uplands, COTU, RedCactus and many more joined us, and the energy, enthusiasm and turnout said it all. It's a reminder of just how strong our partner network is, across the UK and Europe. Together, we're making a difference.
What partners bring to the table
Every great castle needs its knights, and our partners bring a huge amount to ours:
- Increased engagement, built through shared experiences like this one
- A future vision for 2026 and 2027, shaped together
- New connections and deeper collaboration across the network
Why we do this
We deeply value the relationship we have with every one of our partners, and days like this are our chance to properly recognise their commitment and determination. Because Xelion works exclusively through our partner network, with no direct sales of our own, our partners aren't just an extension of the business, they're the reason it works at all. Every conversation they have, every solution they deliver, is what carries Xelion forward. This is what makes it possible.
