We’ve planned & delivered many amazing corporate challenges – from taking Harrods, HSBC, Blackrock, DHL, Citibank to Kilimanjaro’s summit; groups from British Gas & WPP on grand cycling tours; to hundreds of Tesco trekkers relaying the full length of Britain. Whatever challenge your organisation is looking for – UK, Europe, overseas – mass participation, small group, or even a company wide ‘virtual event’ – we can make it happen!
