What Our Clients Say
“This is a quick note to thank Adventure Works very much for a great morning of team building yesterday. It was very efficiently conducted by Dayle, Dale and Kara – forgive any name spelling mistakes please – and I think a great balance was maintained between genuine team-building, fun and competition. It was a stunning day out in Cape Town weatherwise and I was reminded of what a beautiful city we are fortunate enough to live in. The most impactful new learning about Cape Town for me was that we had a real chunk of the Berlin Wall right here in Cape Town! Generally though, the tasks were fun and were conducted in a pleasant and relaxed manner. I could easily imagine the competitive nature of the race being amped up and possibly spoiling the session, and I am glad this did not happen. Please pass on my thanks and congratulations to your slick team, and we look forward to recommending them to other departments who may be contemplating something similar – or even something quite different. I am sure that your team would be up for the challenge.
Many thanks once again”
