Team Building
Good Teamwork is developed … not bought
A strong company needs good leadership and a cohesive team to implement its strategies. And a strong team cannot be chosen – it has to be developed over time through communication and trust.
Your seamless service and constant good humour allowed me to feel completely at ease and host a weekend that was a triumph in event management. The Carphone Warehouse will certainly be back for more and if I have anything to do with it, so will many more clients of mine.”

- Murder Mysteries – we can bring in the experts to conduct a ‘Murder Mystery’ dinner for your group.
- Treasure Hunt – If you want to get physical, we have developed a treasure hunt for teams around the area where you need to solve clues to win a prize. This has been done on bikes.
- Kayaking – We can bring in a professional kayaking instructor to give basic instructions and then you can participate in races or kayak polo on the Ballinacurra Creek.
