What others say

Overall Winners,
Team Olympus:

"A really worthwhile event. At the start of the weekend, the frantic pace to get things done quickly highlighted how we weren't working at our best. By Sunday morning however, we were really pulling together to achieve much more then we could individually."

Finals weekend
14 – 16 November 2008
Eynsham Hall, Oxfordshire

Feedback from teams

Teambuild

Team Olympus, winning team 2007

Contract Strategy Stage Winners,
‘Making Spaces’:

“The Teambuild Event is a rollercoaster of a weekend where fierce competition and friendly socialising are served up in equal measure. In one weekend you get to “live” the project from the masterplan to construction which was an invaluable experience, even for our most seasoned team members. Teambuild has proven to be the starting point for further collaboration both with our own team members as well other new friends made on the weekend. It goes without saying that we all learnt a great deal during the weekend not only about other disciplines but also about ourselves too. 10/10!”
