Below is a record of the work carried out for organisations in London since 2019. Each entry lists the format used, the group size, and what the day was built to achieve. No two briefs are identical, but the planning steps are the same every time.
A finance firm of 42 staff spent a Friday on a set of timed outdoor tasks along the Thames. Groups of six rotated through six stations, each with a different logistics puzzle. The day closed with a debrief on decision-making under time pressure.
A marketing agency wanted its design and client-services teams to work through a shared brief together. We ran a half-day session split into three exercises, each requiring input from both departments before moving forward.
A retail head office booked a cooking session for 30 people ahead of a product launch. Teams of five were given a set of ingredients and a fixed menu brief, then cooked and plated within a 90-minute window before eating together.
A logistics company brought its 16-person leadership group off-site for a full day of planning. The morning covered a review of the past year using printed data sheets; the afternoon was structured group work on the next twelve months.
An engineering firm asked for something practical rather than purely social. Teams of four built a load-bearing structure from limited materials, then tested each entry against the others in a scored trial on a Battersea green space.
An insurance client runs quarterly intake cohorts and needed a structured first day for 20 new joiners. We built a morning of paired exercises so new starters would meet colleagues from other departments before their first team meeting.
A legal firm wanted a low-effort evening event for 50 staff after a demanding quarter. We ran a six-round quiz with a scoring sheet and a short interval, held in a hired room near their Holborn office.
A software company asked for a day that gave something back to the local area. We arranged a group of 25 staff to spend a day on garden maintenance at a Hackney community centre, working in three rotating teams.
An HR department of 24 people wanted an afternoon focused on communication under pressure. Four groups worked through a linked set of puzzles requiring information shared verbally between rooms, with no written notes allowed.
A media company booked a private boat for 35 staff for a half-day social on the Thames. The afternoon combined a short structured activity on board with open time, ending with disembarkation near Tower Bridge.
We can point to a comparable format from the list above and talk through how it was structured. We do not publish client names without permission, but we can describe the sector and group size in detail during a call.
Most were confirmed four to six weeks ahead, though the boat afternoon and the annual planning day were booked closer to three months out due to venue availability. Smaller indoor sessions can sometimes be arranged with less notice.
No. Group sizes in the examples above range from 16 to 50 people. The planning process is the same regardless of size — the difference is mainly in how many rotation groups are formed on the day.
Current bookings are concentrated in two areas of London, including venues around the City and along the Thames. If your office sits outside these areas, mention it when you get in touch and we will confirm whether it is workable.
Typical reply time to a new enquiry is within 3 hours during business hours. Send a short outline of your group size and date, and we will suggest a format.
