When a leading property firm wanted a team building event for 350 staff after a recent merger, we knew a perfect location.

Based in the Rose Gardens of Syon Park, the marquee proved the perfect place for them to hold a quick company meeting, have a couple of drinks and taste some of the delicious bowl food and BBQ before heading out for the activities.

In the field next to the marquee, accompanied by some local cows (!), were the team building challenges in It's A Knock Out. From climbing inflatable walls to throwing sponges to running – and often falling – in oversized costumes, the 32 teams got hot, sweaty and competitive and, most importantly, had fun with some new colleagues.

The day was rounded off with a few drinks, plenty of laughs and everyone enjoying the beautiful sunny weather at this rural location.
