Everyone did such a great job and I love the fact that its a CSR event but its different to what other companies offer. Anyone who is an animal lover will want to do this. I'm so pleased we were able to and just want to say a big thank you to everyone for making our event so amazing! Team Tactics team planned and delivered the day really well. Everyone agreed the day was particularly well-judged regarding the tone which was upbeat despite Pumpkin’s background circumstances. We came away feeling we had made a difference and achieved a great deal, as well as the team having bonded and worked together through the tasks. We were really impressed!Wheels for Walkies
The Team Tactics team were great in helping to organise this session in the limited timescales we have and with the flexibility to run this session from our office, in a shortened timescale. Ellie was a great events lead, bringing energy (as well as getting everyone to settle down where excited!) to our group who were definitely very pleased with the activity. The kick off was very seamless, and Ellie got us out the office quickly (as well as round up equally speedily), which was fantastic to enable us to take advantage of the shortened time we had for the activity vs. the standard.The Royal Quest
Dealing with Team Tactics was so easy. They had a tall ask from us, with not a lot of notice. They pulled it out of the bag. The venue was fantastic (attendees described it to me as "inspiring"), and the day ran smoothly. The team were able to flex to our changing requirements, and the contact I had with Tina, Mel, Tom and Ian was flawless. I've been so impressed, and I've been inundated with compliments on how the day ran. The Crystal Maze event was great fun, and everyone found something playing to their strengths. I'll be recommending Team Tactics to my counterparts in our other offices, and I'll certainly be looking to use the team again.The Crystal Challenge
WOW WOW WOW!!
Bruce and team were sensational yesterday at our event.
Everyone LOVED them and I have never seen so many people smile and be willing to get involved with an activity before!
They blew us away with the Haka, the messages and information on their tribes and Bruce’s humour – just incredible!The Haka
Our team is largely remote which can mean organising events in person can be difficult as we're not always sure who will actually turn up! Team Tactics were patient with this and accommodating as we had to change the numbers a couple of times leading up to the event.
On the day it was great to have an event planner and the ipads tracking the opposing teams scores were fun but also slick.Yuletide Treasure Hunts
Great experience throughout from the planning before the event right the way through. Would highly recommend for any corporate team building exercise. The team LOVED the Wheelies for Walkies event. Thank you Abbie, Ellie and team.Wheels for Walkies
Thank you so much for two excellent events. The quality of equipment and new resources for super fun games have been amazing - super friendly staff too with great personalities adding to the fun. Everyone who has been involved in these events has thanked me immensely but I know all the thanks is for Team Tactics!London Game of Zones
Event was planned perfectly, Team Tactics as always supported my request, and provided a great experience, on the day things ran smoothly. All in all the day was enjoyed by everyone, and we have already booked another table at LUFC in May, and looking forward to this, thanks Team Tactics.Leeds United fixture
Really happy with the event - Tim managed to get the entire team engaged and working together, and the 2 hours flew by. Would recommend this event to others looking for a corporate team building event (in fact, I have already recommended Team Tactics to someone at another company).Grab The Grinch
We had a great time yesterday – Ellie and Paige were fantastic. Thank you so much.Lucy
Just to say a huge thank you to you for putting together what most members of my team have called the best away day ever! We had a great time, I for one will be trying to recreate the meals & cocktails over Christmas. We are going to need to top this next year!!Cook, Eat and Be Merry
Huge thanks to you, Melissa, Tracey and the team for all your hard work in putting the Crystal Challenge together. Tracey and the girls were truly amazing yesterday and everyone really enjoyed our day despite the rain. I am pleased the event is over. It’s been a great experience though.
Once again, thank you very much! I look forward to working with you and the team in the future.The Crystal Challenge
The event itself was fantastically run. I’d arranged to have a telephone call with Jem the day before where we discussed exactly what I wanted to achieve from this workshop and how it would interlink with our main goals as a company for this year. It was nice to do something different which involved everyone taking part and working together as well as having some fun at the same time.Circus Skills Workshop
The event was A HIT!!! Everyone really seemed to love it! I’m so so thankful to you and your team for all efforts to make this happen (especially with the late notice). We’re still in the process of gathering formal feedback from the attendees, but so far it’s definitely one of the favorite portions of the programming.
I could not be happier with the result of the team tactics session! I’m so so grateful and I even mentioned to the girls at the event that I would be happy to share Team Tactics information for other admins (&/or event planners) in our company to reach out.
Thanks so much- I know we will work together again!Micki
It was a great day and what we all needed thank you so much for supporting us in making it happen. We will be in touch for the next one!Sati
Thanks to you and the full team for a great session! The team LOVED it!BAT
Thank you so much, we all had a great time on Friday. The weather obviously helped.London Canal Quest
We recently participated in a fantastic team event hosted by Team Tactics. It was an incredible experience for a worthy cause. This was our second time working with them, and once again, they did not disappoint. Ellie and her team were fabulous hosts, ensuring that everyone had a great time. Our team particularly enjoyed seeing the dogs, which added a special touch to the afternoon. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to working with Team Tactics again in the future.Sasha
I just wanted to say an absolutely huge thank you for making the Bupa Team Health Challenge at the London stadium in September such a success! We were absolutely delighted with the final output and the experience we created for our guests.
We have seen some incredible results with 100% of people saying the day increased their awareness of the benefits of a diverse workforce, 100% people rated the event 10/10 and we achieved an NPS score of 100.
These are remarkable results and you were a huge part of creating this magic! I was so busy I didn’t even get to really see you on the day which was a shame but I know what a truly amazing job you did! Thanks so much again.Samantha
Thank you for the follow up email. It was a great session, I wasn’t actually in the room at the start but I was walking back to the main room and I could hear roars of laughter as they guys were so funny and had captured the audience perfectly. Everyone left the event on a real high and I am very grateful for this.
Please pass on my thanks to Bruce, what a genuinely lovely person.Caroline

Our Outdoor Team Building Events Process
Our highly experienced events team will spend time getting to know your business, what excites your team, and your overall goals. Here’s how our outdoor team building events planning process works:
1. Initial discussion The process starts with an initial chat, so we can understand your goals, budget, preferred venue or location, and any past activities you’ve enjoyed.
2. Choose an activity
Our event planners will work with you to find the best outdoor team building option for your team, whether it’s a treasure hunt, boat cruise, charity challenge, or something else altogether.
3. Event logistics We’ll manage every step of the planning process, from initial organisation to on-the-day delivery. We’ll take care of all of the event logistics in the run-up to and during the day, so you can fully enjoy your outdoor team building activity.
4. On-the-day delivery
Our event managers and facilitators will host your outdoor team building event on the day, making sure every aspect runs as smoothly as possible.
5. Event follow up
After your event, we’ll be in touch to ask for your feedback to see how you found everything, and to ensure we can make future outdoor team building events even better.
Benefits of Outdoor Team Building Events
Our outdoor team building ideas provide employees with a chance to step outside the usual work environment, build stronger relationships, and develop important skills in a fun and refreshing way. Here’s why businesses enjoy getting stuck into team building activities outside:
1. Build stronger connections
The ultimate goal of outdoor corporate events is to bring people together. Shared experiences cement and strengthen bonds between colleagues, creating tighter team bonds that will benefit working relationships for years to come.
2. Improve teamwork
Our outdoor team building activities are designed to improve collaboration, communication, and teamwork skills, including delegation and strategising. Using these skills in team building outside the office provides employees with transferable skills and stronger team bonds that they can put into practice when they return to work.
3. Boost morale
Getting out of the office – or away from the spare bedroom – for some fresh air and a shared challenge can help to boost staff morale, and increase overall motivation and positivity. A day away from the desk for an outdoor team building social could be just what your team needs to return to work with renewed energy and stronger ties.
4. Enhance problem-solving skills
Taking part in creative, engaging outdoor team building games encourages critical thinking, which is a crucial skill for employees to exercise. Our events are designed to test these skills in a fun environment, without participants realising that’s what they’re doing – but next time they need to tap into that part of their brain at work, they’ll be able to revisit what they learnt during that day of team building activities outside.
5. Relieve stress
Getting outdoors into the fresh air – and hopefully the sunshine! – can help to reduce stress and promote better wellbeing for your team, leaving them feeling refreshed and reinvigorated when they return to the office.
