So what is ‘team- building’? Team- building falls under incentives which encompasses training and away-days.  Team-building is generally received from an employer as a price for winning a competition related to their job or to encourage staff to meet certain business objectives.

Other event based activities focus on staff development, which have a primary focus to motivate staff in order to achieve goals or increase performance levels.

Why book a conference or team building event?

  • Good for moral
  • Helps build a good strong team
  • Rewards a team or can impress and entertain clients

What types of team-building options are there?

At Old Down Estate we have options from segways and clay pigeon shooting to survival training and colour consultations.
Fancy some team building with a difference? See below more information for what Old Down Estate has on offer:
