Away Days

Need an external independent facilitator to make your staff development / team building day something special?

We can provide a facilitator who will work closely with you on the planning for the event and then lead the activities on the day, enabling you to be part of the team rather than the 'boss'. 

"We could not have achieved what we did without the external facilitator. Whilst allowing people to contribute freely, he also kept us on task!"
