July 24, 2024Leona5 min read

Last week, our team set off to deliver team building in Hertfordshire. This was our brand-new ‘Go For Gold’ package for our client GSK — one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. This Olympic-themed event had contestants competing to win gold across a series of exciting challenges.

The Go for Gold Experience

Inspired by the spirit of the Olympic Games, our Go for Gold package brings the thrill of international competition to your corporate event. Teams compete across a series of challenges that test speed, accuracy, teamwork, and strategy — with gold, silver, and bronze medals up for grabs. It's one of our most exciting new additions to our team building portfolio, and a perfect example of the kind of bespoke corporate team building activities we design for leading UK organisations.

What Made This Event Special

  • Olympic-themed challenges — A mix of physical, mental, and creative tasks inspired by Olympic disciplines
  • Inclusive for all — Every challenge was designed so everyone could participate and contribute
  • High energy throughout — Our professional hosts kept the atmosphere electric from start to finish
  • Medal ceremony — A proper podium ceremony with gold, silver, and bronze medals for the winning teams
  • Fully managed — We handled every detail from set-up to pack-down

Perfect for Any Corporate Event

The Go for Gold package is perfect for corporate away days, team development sessions, summer parties, and company celebrations. It works brilliantly for groups of 20 to 500 and can be delivered indoors or outdoors at any venue across the UK.
