No other TV show has successfully packaged the harshness of business life with brutal interpersonal competition to match the BBC’s The Apprentice. The long walks of doom towards the boardroom and the no-nonsense rulings from Sir Alan Sugar are dramatic to watch! Whist we definitely recreate all the inter-team rivalry and many other elements from [Continue Reading]
The Ultimate Conference Ice Breaker and Energiser
Last week, and first thing in the morning, an unsuspecting conference audience of just over 400 arrived a little bleary eyed and tired after a successful gala dinner the night before. No doubt hoping to gradually wake up and ease themselves into the day ahead, conference delegates probably expected the normal format of speakers and, perhaps, [Continue Reading]
Gumboot Dancing For Conference Energisers
Normally, we are asked to provide group activities that are highly relevant to a business meeting or conference – activities with an underlying business message or meaning that participants will uncover. Then again, sometimes, it’s just about trying something totally random and new, just like the series of morning conference energisers we delivered in Harrogate this [Continue Reading]
Team Building in Gleneagles
This week, our work took me to one of the world’s most famous hotels – Gleneagles. This historic landmark is situated in the middle of Scotland, just as you leave the flatter plains and the surrounding mountains begin. The surrounding views are simply stunning. It’s always exciting for me to go back home to Scotland any [Continue Reading]

With only around two weeks left before Christmas, time is running out if you want to bring the unmistakable chiming sound of Christmas bells to your end-of-year conference, meeting or evening party. Every year, we offer our traditional fun challenge where your group will learn to play our seasonal hand bells. These hand bells are all [Continue Reading]
A Week in the Life of Creative Team Events
As the year comes to a close and some companies are winding down, these last few weeks have been wonderfully busy for us. This particular week began with Lisa on a two-day film shoot for an upcoming conference, working with actors and senior managers through to the early hours to create relevant visual messages for [Continue Reading]
Morning Conference Energiser was a Thriller
There must be something about Telford Conference Centre! Whenever we go there, we could not ask for a better audience. We once delivered a conference drumming event there for The Body Shop. When our team of ten came out playing on stage, we were confronted with a screaming Beatlemania-type audience of over two thousand! This [Continue Reading]

Companies in the UK currently lead the world in regularly providing conferences, team days, incentives and off-site experiences for employees. This means that a lot of corporate organisations in the UK are used to, and have come to expect, grand entertainment [Continue Reading]
The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Team Building Singing
Following in the footsteps of Julie Andrews, I brought singing to the Swiss Alps this week for the purpose of bonding groups together! Working on overseas events is always exciting but also a little nerve-racking. This is not because of the nature of our events as we execute these on a daily basis. It is more [Continue Reading]
Crashing Waiters for Dinner and Evening Entertainment
About 15 years ago, I saw the introduction of a fabulous surprise dinner entertainment called ‘singing waiters’. First in London, then quickly spreading to other regions, various forms of singing waiters were to be found in corporate dinners everywhere. The concept was, and still is, effective. Waiters actually turn out to be opera singers, and dinner [Continue Reading]
