After returning from a successful trip to Spain, working with Ralph Lauren, my next project took me to a totally new and fascinating location. The excitement began as the door bell rang at 5.30am, which marked the beginning of my trip from London to Columbia, where I was to facilitate a teambuilding session using drumming. Drumming [Continue Reading]
Spontaneous General Public Singing
In the last week I witnessed and participated in three separate outbursts of general public singing. These impromptu vocal experiences further proved to me the power of the human voice to instantly connect groups of people, even strangers. The first episode took place on the banks of the Thames as the Jubilee flotilla made its way down [Continue Reading]
Unique Hen Party Entertainment With Drumming
As almost every activity we provide is full of fun, energy and surprise, it’s no wonder that exhilarated participants occasionally ask about doing the same thing within a birthday, stag or hen party. If they had this much fun with work colleagues and, sometimes, total strangers, then what must it be like sharing these interactive events [Continue Reading]
Different Group Sizes in Team Building
Last Saturday was a perfect example of the extremes we see in group size (and content) for our teambuilding events. My day started very early, in order to get to the Bath Spa and Resort Hotel in plenty of time. At a breakfast meeting with our client, we ran through the finer outcomes required for the [Continue Reading]
Capturing Your Team Building Activities For Ever
I am always surprised when, after all that goes into organising a team event – including meetings, deliberations, bookings and site visits – clients often overlook the option of filming or, at least, photographing their event. So often when we arrive at a venue and we are preparing to set up, clients have the sudden [Continue Reading]
Venues for Team Building

They have the authority, local knowledge and resources to help create a flawless event from a logistical perspective. Conversely, they have the potential to hamper every sensible idea, add unforeseen obstacles and [Continue Reading]
Team Building in Scotland and Wales
For many years, the first choice for team building activities in Scotland and Wales has often been outdoor pursuits. With inspiring landscapes and natural beauty in both locations, this is not surprising. Furthermore, there are many options, including camping, bush craft, canoeing and climbing, for participants to experience on their teambuilding days and off-site retreats. [Continue Reading]
Olympic Motivational Speakers Combined With Team Building Activities
Competitors in the forthcoming London Olympics will currently be completely focused on winning a medal, to demonstrate excellence and outstanding achievement on the world stage. Diet, injury, training and positive attitude will all be at the forefront of their minds. For some, this will be the year that their entire life changes. Fame, adulation and [Continue Reading]
Team Building With Small Groups
I think that one of the main reasons people are drawn to work in our industry is the fact that every day is different. The environment of constant change brings new challenges, relationships and learning. I believe that this keeps us all fresh and alive! This week was a perfect example, when I was tasked with [Continue Reading]
Choosing the Perfect Teambuilding Activity
Over the years, we have seen so many weird and wonderful ideas that even make our very own Thriller (where everyone is dressed as zombies and taught the famous Michael Jackson routine) look quite sane! These days, the team building options available to companies are almost endless and the Internet is awash with everything imaginable to do [Continue Reading]
