Shell UK — Take Me Back Team Building, Aberdeen
Shell UK is one of the world's largest energy companies, with a major presence in Aberdeen. Event Collection delivered a high-energy Take Me Back team building event for 80 of their Aberdeen-based staff — 10 teams competing across nostalgic TV game show rounds in a day packed with laughter, competition, and genuine team connection.
The Brief
Shell UK wanted a team building activity that would bring together 80 colleagues from different departments and seniority levels in their Aberdeen office. The event needed to be genuinely fun and inclusive — not a forced corporate exercise — while creating new connections across teams that rarely interact day-to-day.
The key requirement was an activity where every single person would be actively involved and laughing, not just the extroverts. Shell wanted something that would dissolve the usual workplace hierarchies and create shared memories that would carry back into the office.
What We Delivered
We delivered our Take Me Back event — a nostalgic trip through classic TV game shows that gets everyone competing, laughing, and connecting from the very first round.
The Result
The energy and competitive spirit were absolutely electric from start to finish. Each round brought something different — from music and media challenges to physical tasks and creative performances — ensuring every team member could contribute their strengths.
What made this Shell event special wasn't just the activity — it was the way 10 separate teams, many of whom rarely work together day-to-day, left the room as one united group. The nostalgic element of Take Me Back was particularly effective: when colleagues are laughing together about classic TV moments, the usual professional hierarchies dissolve completely.
Shell have since booked Event Collection for multiple additional events in Aberdeen, making us a trusted partner for their corporate team building programme.
“From the initial call to the final guest leaving, the whole event was flawless. Our team is still talking about it months later. We'll absolutely be booking again.”
