Twice now you have stepped up to the challenge of producing a tailored event, that I know involved a lot of additional pre-work at a new location - but you pulled it off without a hitch! Thank you so much!" |

Use the event as a surprise and lead into the company's Christmas dinner. | | Comment: | Kingsley, Terry, Sam, Nikki and the rest of the BeChallenged team did an outstanding job in planning with us and organising a flawless team-building event. Not only did they arrange for it on very short notice, tailor everything to our needs, and respond to the most individual of our requests, but they did so with astounding friendliness, professionalism, resilience, punctuality, attention to detail, and speed. Applying their extensive experience and excellent listening skills, they almost knew what we were after even before we said it. Their superb organisation skills then turned vision and ideas into practice, including seamless liaison with third parties, such as Q Station. Impeccable communication along the way ensured all of us were always on the same page. The result was a challenging, exciting, fun, and entertaining team-building event, with a perfectly thought out and dosed level of difficulty – not too easy, not too tough. In the end, all of this turned even the harshest of our internal team-building exercise cynics around and made them voluntarily, and unexpectedly, praise the entire event. What a compliment! Best, though, was that the event provided us with valuable insights as to our own functioning, which tied in smoothly with our ongoing discussions around the topic.

The afternoon with them was amazing. We did a number of activities that enabled us to learn about ourselves, and our team mates. The greatest benefit of the afternoon for us was it combined a lot of fun and laughter with a number of important lessons. This was carried back into our culture the following week. They are excellent value for money and I cant think of a better way to invest into your number one asset - your team!" |

Unfortunately the weather was not kind on the day, but the BeChallenged team rose to the “challenge” and plan B went into action. Our team were so impressed with the organisation and enthusiasm of the BeChallenged guys that they just got on board and ran with it despite the last minute changes and they all had a wonderful time. I am still receiving emails from the team asking “when is the next event happening?” I would certainly recommend BeChallenged to anyone looking for a professional, well organised, fun filled team building event. |
