Venues Event Management take the 'Checkered Flag'

Venues Event Management staff recently got to experience what they sell as around 90 staff took part in a large outdoor team building event on an airfield next to their premises in Swindon. Working in partnership with preferred team building partner Bluehat UK, staff participated in the ‘Chequered Flag’ event.

Chequered Flag is a team building activity that offers the thrills and spills of a themed company Grand Prix, Wacky Racers style. Teams are provided with a basic pedal powered kart from which they must design and build a winning machine. In order to earn resources teams create a pitch, the most outlandish of which will gain the most sponsorship. The activity is designed with multiple roles ensuring everyone is involved and engaged and is a great way to get teams energised and bring out their creativity.

Alisdair Ross, head of the project and event team commented: “We have been providing team building experiences to our clients for a number of years. From a product knowledge point of view, it is easier to promote the benefits of an activity if you have experienced it yourself. In addition to this, we have been expanding our operational teams and have a lot of new starters – this was a very effective way to break the ice.”
