A morning "banish the hang over" event was the order of the day at the beautiful 5 * venue of Oulton Hall - Leeds. Let the words of the client say it all ...
"I wanted to drop you a note to say a massive thank you again to you, Emma, Kathy, Jane and Alan for such a fabulous day yesterday. I really don't think most of the group have laughed so hard in a very long time! I'm sorry we didn't have the full compliment in terms of numbers but I don't think it mattered. They had a ball! Anyway, I know how much work and effort goes into these things and so thank you again for everything. It really was spot on!

This was Oscars first team event and boy was it different... from the first Mac in the guise of a demented health & safety nerd had them in stitches, with their decorated Oscar delivery vans they set off around the town layout stopped at "customers" to complete themed challenges which ranged from wearing dog and cat masks and acting out bad behavior traits for the rest of the team to guess what they were to by feel alone trying to work out which was which Oscar petfood.
Here's what the client had to say afterwards:-
"Just a quick note to say thanks so much for everything at the Conference! Yourself, Kathy, Mac and crew were all brill ;D
All seemed to go very well with everybody suitably impressed and sending us very nice comments. Oscar has never seen the likes of it before but let's hope it'll be a firm favourite from now on!"

The brief was very simple 5 x 15 minute session to be interspersed between business presentations each one to highlight key points from the preceeding presentation, so we tailored each session into an interactive team challenge, scoring points along the way, we even gave the teams homework to be presented at the beginning of the next day
