BUSINESS

team building IN Kent
LONG GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN THE TERM
‘CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING’ WAS MET WITH
DERISION AND SCORN. NOW, WITH THE HUGE
RANGE OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES ON OFFER
ALL OVER THE COUNTY, IT’S SOMETHING TO
ACTUALLY LOOK FORWARD TO.

Though it’s an event where
people who otherwise might
never speak to one another are
expected to suddenly gel together
and win some kind of
competition, a corporate team
building day is all about uniting a
workforce, developing strengths,
addressing weaknesses, and

bringing the best out in each team

office, those new-found skills can
be put to good use. If it’s done
right (and as long as the boss’s
evil competitive streak doesn’t

building day can be just what the

Food has always
been a special way of
bringing people

an excellent way of
presenting some
unusual challenges
that teams need to
work together to

Cookery School it’s
possible to book a
team building day
with a tasty difference.
Teams will be
split into groups, and
for each dish a
demonstration is given by the chef before groups are tasked with creating
their own culinary masterpieces. You have limited time to plan, cook and
present your dishes, so the pressure is on, but fun is guaranteed!

Kent is a beautiful county, so it only seems right that on a team building
day you should make the most of what’s around you – and perhaps learn
more about it as you go. Huntfun’s interactive, GPS-based treasure hunts
are ideal for combining physical exercise, problem solving, and team working,
and they can be carried out across Kent including in Maidstone, Rochester,
Ashford, and Tonbridge.
