Happy New Year! It’s exciting to be starting a new year of team building adventures. We will be running established events such as Chocolate Making and the Crystal Challenge and there will be plenty of new ideas. We regularly come up with new event concepts and often clients have themes or ideas that they ask us to develop for them.
Last year cooking events remained popular and there was a growing trend towards indoor team building, particularly of note events at clients’own offices rather than at hotels. We expect cost cutting moves to continue and have to make sure that we find ways to support this objective while still delivering excellent events.
Influences that will come in in 2011 will be the growing excitement about the 2012 Olympics. The challenge there is to be able to create relevant events without infringing on one of the most protected brands out there. Official Olympics material is available and event companies will need to keep on the right side of that line.
Another relevant influence is the number of films that are being released this year. Some really big films are coming out and that may make Film Making events popular. This is one of the best events for team building, it unites people through sheer enjoyment and the films made are always fantastic and will be enjoyed for years.
And finally there’s The Royal Wedding. A marriage is the ultimate team building activity, but how can we make an event out of it?
Happy New Year from our team January 5, 2010

Team Building
A very happy and prosperous New Year from the team here at Fun Team Building Activities and Progressive Resources. It will be interesting to see what is popular in 2010. We predict that cooking and chocolate making will continue to be popular and also The Crystal Challenge, with our next generation of updated challanges and equipment. Photos will be coming in February.
Our clients still want fun events but there has to be more to it than that. They need return on investment, now more than ever. We give this with authentic, effective activities without corny storylines and where the outcome feels natural rather than affected.

Chocolate making in London December 16, 2009

Chocolate making is one of the big events of this year. Another trend has been for companies to hold their events close to their office and not go away to a hotel and add an overnight stay.
The London Art House
We do a lot of our London events at The London Art House in Islington. They are conveniently located and they welcome event companies, where some venues can be less than helpful.
There are plenty of rooms of all sizes and it is a unique and interesting venue, so you really feel as though you’re on an ‘event’. Catering packages can be designed to suit any taste and budget and there are some highly competitive packages on offer for corporate groups.
Chocolate making is the ideal London event, you don’t have to go far to experience one of the best team building activities on offer.
Christmas Team Building Activities December 3, 2009

There are various Christmas themed team building activities available and this year there seems to be a trend to do something business relevant instead of the traditional Christmas party because it seems less frivolous.
One obvious option is Christmas chocolate making, or a festive themed cooking event. This is a good choice because it is also an indoor event. Treasure hunts can be themed and there is a Hunt The Turkey event where the objective is to collect ingredients such as sprouts, parsnips and stuffing by completing various team challenges before a grand finale of hunting down a person is a turkey costume hiding in the grounds of a hotel. This is great fun, as you can imagine.
Fun Christmas team building activities can be combined with a Christmas lunch or just mince pies and mulled wine to give a festive event for a team which is a business linked event rather than just a jolly. You don’t have to miss out on the fun either – most people will find it a refreshing change.
