When brainstorming team building ideas, the temptation is to concentrate on the activities and spend less time considering the venue where they will be held.
However, do not let the excitement of the activities detract from some important questions that you need to ask about the host venue:
• Will it have the resources and experience to provide a broad enough variety of team building activities?
• Is the venue large enough to cope with bigger events such as quad biking or other driving activities?
• Will it have top quality conference and training facilities if one or more days of team building are to be part of a larger event?
• Will it have the calibre of accommodation and dining facilities necessary for large team building events spanning several days?
• Is it quick and easy to reach with good motorway, rail and airport links?
All too often smaller team building venues can tick one or two boxes but not all of them.
Therefore it pays to select specialist team building centres which are based at dedicated conference venues.
Lane End Conference Centre in Buckinghamshire hosts at least 20 different types of team building activities.
They include driving activities of all types – such as off-road buggies, hovercraft and even motorised beer kegs. Also available are archery, human table football and numerous experiential learning challenges.
Lane End Conference Centre is ideally placed to serve London and the corporate City market – it is the only team building venue of its calibre within a 20-mile radius.
The centre is based in the picturesque Chiltern hills on a 26-acre site which has land dedicated specifically for team building.
Sales and Marketing Manager Heni Fourie said: “We have formed a unique partnership with a neighbouring farmer with direct access to his land from our grounds for motorised activities.
“This ideal working partnership gives us the space to host motorised team activities in a dedicated area that is far enough from our conference facilities to avoid any loud noise to cause distraction.”
