What our staff said…
“Paintballing was
brilliant, it’s not often
you get to run
around in the woods
and shoot your
colleagues!”
Jo Tully,
Development Officer
What our staff said…
“It has created a good bond with
team members, and staff who
don’t interact on a regular basis
do so in the football team. Team
members include the CEO, it is
fantastic to see senior members
of staff getting involved in team
building events.”
Paul Hodgson, Senior IT Officer
What our staff said…
“I think playing sport together
can be a great way to build
working relationships that
might otherwise not happen.”
Jon Bettridge, Accountancy
Assistant.
