Extreme Team Building

08 April 2013

On a gruelling all terrain obstacle course in a desolate farm in deepest Warwickshire questions were asked by the annual Wolf Run (website) but TeamEML had all of the answers!

Our 'heroes' included Director's Neil Cleaver and Jon Huggett along with Sarah Tatham, Adam White and Michelle Pogmore...by 'heroe's we mean whoever Jon signed up last December after a rush of blood.

On the day Jon led the line as we scrambled our way around the challenging 10k course. Neil lost it in the lake, Sarah went quiet after jumping ravines, Jon puffed up the hills and Michelle and Adam looked annoyingly comfortable all the way around.

To be fair it was a great bit of team building for us and outrageously good fun!

See you there next year?..

High Speed Police Chase for Durham 1stXI

16 April 2012

Durham CCC  Picture.jpg

In a quest to get Durham County Cricket Club’s 1stXI back on track, coach Geoff Cook has looked to a team development company for some extra spin.  The pre-season team building programme led by EML had Durham’s elite including Mark Wood, Callum Thorp and Graham Onions included in high speed police chases, team challenges and psychological profiling; all designed to help the team members better understand themselves and each other. 

Durham’s performance analyst Phil Dicks said, “With the help of Durham Constabulary we could effectively build a programme of ‘decision making under pressure’ which certainly got the lads hot under the collar. Team development company EML used team profiling and team building games to help our players look more deeply into personality traits and how new personal insights can then be utilised on the field. Let's hope they take their new-found knowledge across the line and use it to reclaim the County Championship 2012/13.”

Picking the right venue for your team building event

When tasked with arranging a fun team building event very often clients need to incorporate a business meeting, suitable catering and overnight accommodation. When looking at outward-bound centres it is not always possible to satisfy conflicting requirements to a standard that meets with the expectations of senior management.

All too often outward-bound centres’ supplemental facilities are inadequate thus detracting from the overall team event. When clients look to conduct meetings at nearby conference centres and then transfer to an outward-bound centre, they will incur a full day delegate rate and the hire of a coach making the cost of the team building programme prohibitive in these austere times.

So what’s the answer? - Simple, pick the right hotel and do it all in  the same place!

By picking the right hotel you can:

  • Conduct a meeting in surroundings that meet your team’s needs
  • Enjoy high quality catering throughout your team event
  • Eliminate the need to transfer your team to an activity centre
  • Utilise hotel grounds for on site team building and large function rooms for indoor activities at no extra cost!
  • Easily access evening meals and overnight accommodation on site

By picking the right hotel you can exercise far more control over your team building event and get far greater value for money.

EML provides mobile team building solutions and a free venue searching service throughout the UK and Europe.
