WORKING WITH YOU

Corporate challenge events

We have perfect events for your team!

We deliver high quality corporate challenge events for many UK companies. If you want an exciting event for the wellbeing of your employees, a rewarding challenge for a group of achievers, or a company-wide fundraising initiative – we have an event for you. We’ll tailor it to meet your objectives, match your values, and leave a lasting impact.

For 25 years we’ve organised corporate challenge events in the UK, Europe, and Worldwide for groups, companies, and charities – and our events have helped to raise tens of millions for UK charities. We’ve delivered some of the best corporate challenges for many top UK companies – with Tesco, British Gas, Marks & Spencer, Harrods, DHL, Blackrock, HSBC, PWC, Citibank, Dell, and Centrica being just some which have trusted us to stage world class events for their colleagues & teams.

So whether it’s a group of hikers bonding on an adventurous climb, a bespoke multi day challenge that can really test & develop a leadership team, or even a mass engagement ‘virtual’ challenge to connect all your offices & people wherever they sit in your organisation – perhaps linked with fundraising for your special charity – we’ll craft the ideal event!

Bespoke packages

Tailored for your company

Unlike most event organisers, we have a full toolkit available to ensure that your corporate challenge event will genuinely work for your company. Our experienced team will lead the way managing the development of your brief, handling any administration, creating registration platforms, building a bespoke challenge website to help drive recruitment, and a tailored App based participant communications journey. We also conduct the route & risk planning stages – and then full operational delivery of the event.

If you want something unique, and shaped for your company from the outset – whether it’s hiking, running, cycling, swimming or a mix – in the UK, Europe, or overseas – for as few as 15 to a thousand colleagues – we’ve planned & operated hundreds of events for our clients, and understand the detail & energy needed to deliver low risk, great value, and unforgettable experiences!

We can create a Challenge App, or website, for a Bespoke Challenge, which houses all the info about the event, and will carry your company branding, and makes the whole participnt admin process & communication journey efficient and professional.

We have a class-leading platform for operating any ‘Virtual Challenge’ – and the options are as good as your imagination! It could be individuals or teams, walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, head shaving, or whatever – with single offices or worldwide locations from 100 to 50,000 participants – and with a challenge ‘app’ to bring your corporate challenge event alive!

Virtual challenges are a fantastic and flexible way to engage large audiences – including suppliers & customers alongside colleagues. If paired with a parallel centrepiece ‘real physical’ event – there’s now an unbeatable ‘hybrid’ model available to really capture the imagination of colleagues!

We deal directly with hundreds of UK charities – including all the major ones, and we fully understand how the sector operates – what works well as a fundraising challenge and what doesn’t – and how to go about getting all the details right first time.

CORPORATE CASE STUDY

Harrods

Harrods - Kilimanjaro & Great Wall of China

Overseas CHALLENGES

Harrods were looking for inspirational events for a mixed group of  colleagues to take on as a motivational challenge – and to raise funds for their ‘charity of the year’ – which was a partnership with NSPCC. Two ‘classic’ challenges in consecutive years provided that unforgettable journey – and real-life group bonding experiences which can never be replicated in the conference rooms!

British Gas - Climbs Kilimanjaro + Cycles & treks Britain

A FULL JOURNEY...

Our partnership started with a group Kilimanjaro climb for a group of 30 colleagues which included call centre workers. engineers, and the CEO – with fundraising for ‘Make A Wish’. The following year it was an epic 1000 mile round Britain cycle ride for 200 employees and suppliers – fundraising for GOSH. ‘British Gas Treks Britain’ followed for 2 years – where we delivered a series of regional events for thousands of employees with their friends & families. Participants signed up via a challenge website we produced –  chose a 10 km walk, a half or full marathon trek, and to also join the lively ‘family fun days’ at the event hubs, and was part of a partnership with the charity Shelter, which raised over £750k.

Centrica

CORPORATE CASE STUDY

Centrica 'John O-Groats to Van's End'

BESPOKE VIRTUAL CHALLENGE

An electric van was driven the length of Britian – Lands End to John O’Groats – visiting Centrica offices enroute, and teams of employees mirrored the route ‘virtually’ by clocking up miles walking, jogging, running, or cycling anywhere at anytime during the month. To make it inclusive & accessible – other non physical activities were awarded miles, so everyone could move along the virtual map – and help raise funds for the charity Carers UK.
