Behind The Scenes - The Apprentices!

Another day, another great team building event! At the Grand Hotel, Brighton, we were right on our own doorstep for The Apprentices!

Mike Horner, the event manager on the day, said "Nick's entrance is great - he storms into the conference room shouting into his phone, switching back and forth between English and Russian, before finally hanging up and seeing the guests for the first time and fixing them with his trademark steely glare!"

iPad Fever at CCC HQ

One of our most experienced event managers, Mike Horner, works his magicon 40 of the CCC iPad 2's...

No, he's not just playing 'master of the universe', he is in fact preparing a 300 guest iSpy Team Building Event in our home town of Brighton!

Although the team have all had a chance to have a good old play around with our new toys (The 'photo booth' app provided quite a few hours of cheek ache!) we do, sadly, sometimes have to do some work - although on days like this, we wonder if we can call it that!

Mike says of the award-winning iSpy "What makes iSpy so special is that it was all created in-house, so the team really knows all its in's and out's. We are lucky enough to have team members with the added skill base and drive to learn, to be able to create this interactive event that keeps on developing - the possibilities are now endless and we can tailor nearly every aspect so that our clients are getting a completely bespoke experience. And the clients' mischievous giggling at the end of every event is testament to iSpy's appeal...

One of our agency clients who recently took part in the iSpy said:

"We all had such a great time around London - I really appreciated the effort you and your team put into the day and we haven't laughed so much in a long time." 

Whether you have 5 or 500 people, are in Bath or Barcelona, iSpy will run exactly the same and that's why it's been so successful. With over 22 years experience in team building, we know some classics can become tired and typical - this is just one of the ways we keep our team builds fresh and unique.

Mike adds "my favourite thing about events like this is winning over the clients during the introduction alone. There are so many weird and wonderful challenges to complete that once I've explained what we have planned for them, even the most sceptical of clients will warm to the idea of running around a city looking for clues! And no one can wait to see the films the teams have made along the way - having a 'screening' of their movies as we announce the winners is sure to end the day on a real high"

So if you feel that your team build needs something unique, bespoke and hilarious, this really is something to consider.

Behind The Scenes

Operations Director Steve Scott gets in the spirit of the role as he joins in yesterday's The Apprentices event. "I'm a lovely guy, really, I am", he insists. "But there's something really enjoyable about playing a shouting tycoon! It's all in good fun, and the clients had a great time."

Event Manager Kate Packham said "Steve always brings an element of comical grumpiness to the role! Not at all like he is around the office, of course!"

Well indeed.

We invite you to offer a comment of your own. Steve - an imposing, fear-inducing tycoon? Or a loveable, mild mannered and misunderstood business magnate?

CCC Events Win "Team Building Company of the Year"

CCC Events has won the coveted Team Building Company Of The Year at the Event Awards!

2011-12 has been great for CCC Events -it has seen us introduce brand new events, invest while others have tightened purse strings, and win a series of industry awards on our first try!

The Team Building Award makes 8 awards in total, but it is the one of which we are most proud - it is, after all, what we do best!

We represented well on the night with no less than 10 of us attending, and no less than 10 of us piling onto the stage when the win was announced!

Creative Director of CCC Events, Martin Clark, had this to say. “Our clients’ companies are doing well, and although everyone is tightening their belts in these difficult economic times, they are still prioritising spend on making their workforce stronger, more loyal, more productive and more effective. It seems obvious, but is often an area in which companies cut back in hard times.”
