Spring Into Spring
Springtime is just around the corner and it is a great season for events and conferencing. As the earth stirs back to life, so do we, and we start to get excited about spending more time outdoors and soaking up some much-craved Vitamin D.
Venues with alfresco dining, rooftops and balconies are in high demand. Conferencing by the seaside seems ideal, but so too are conference venues surrounded by blossoming gardens and vineyards. Treat your delegates to menus filled with local springtime produce as they sip a glass of sparkling something or other in the sunshine.
Get your delegates involved in some super springtime team building activities. Outdoor cooking classes, archery, hot air balloon flights, golf, a game of cricket, the possibilities are wide and varied. A little bit of fun goes a long way in helping your delegates to feel positive about working together.
The national events calendar is brimming during Springtime. If you haven’t booked your event yet, you had better get onto it! Here are some fun events coming up around the country that you could tie in with your corporate events.

Time for a Spring Clean?
Winter is almost over! Is it time for an office spring clean? Studies have shown that a clean office can contribute to an increase in productivity. An organised and uncluttered desk reflects an organised approach to work. Clear the clutter away and start getting things done more efficiently.
