Team Building in Slough
The Berkshire town of Slough is popular as a location with team building event organisers because of its transport links, and the availability of excellent hotels and event spaces. It sits at the intersection of the M4, M40 and M25 motorways, and just 12 miles from Heathrow airport. The town is famous for several reasons. It is the home to the Mars chocolate factory, and Mars bars have been made there since their creation in 1932. A staggering 3 million are made every day, and it is said that on some days you can smell chocolate in the air. Our Chocolate Making team building event could be a good choice in this fragrant location. For those of a certain generation Slough will always be associated with the TV show ‘The Office’. When the staff of Wernham Hogg took part in a team building exercise it was a boring ‘classroom’ challenge about crossing a river. The opposite of boring is our Parmesan Job event, which is often described as ‘the best team building event that I have ever experienced’. We give you a Fiat 500 for the day, and a briefcase containing an iPad that will guide you on an adventure based on the legendary film ‘The Italian Job’. This event is so popular that we had to create a sequel, The Parmesan Job II!
Team Building Events in Slough
Davinci Designs, an indoor team building event, allows participants to unleash their creativity. The group is divided into teams and each creates a part of an artwork. At the end of the event these are combined to form one giant ‘big picture’. The metaphor is obvious, but the picture itself can be themed to a business strategy which makes this a very valuable team building exercise. The task requires collaboration and communication between the teams to ensure the pieces align. There are many business benefits in this activity. Quizmania is our next level iPad quiz. There are general knowledge rounds, and answering some of the questions unlocks challenges which can involve photographs and short films. This is very interactive and great fun. You also get funny pictures and films that you can enjoy after the event, prolonging the team building effect. When it comes to local knowledge Slough brings a lot to the table. The wheelie bin was invented here, and Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds was filmed in a studio on an industrial estate in the town. There is a lot going on in this often underrated town, so call us to discuss the options for a team building event in interesting Slough.
