You may have noticed a few ‘out of office’ notifications from our team on Friday 9th July… that’s because the Carterwood team spent the afternoon at Wild Place for some long overdue team building and time together.
Over the past year, our core team has expanded by 35% and with many of the team never having met in person and restrictions across the country easing, the team decided it was time to get together, take a break from our screens and celebrate our recent achievements from the past 12 months, some of which are shown below.

A wild day out of the office
The team met at Wild Place for an afternoon of team building challenges, starting with some games before moving on to more daredevil pursuits, including pole scaling, wall climbing and taking the ‘leap of faith’ off a 25ft pole. Then, it was into the wild, where everyone took part in a scavenger hunt around the park, completing riddles, cracking codes (perfect for the analysts), solving puzzles and getting the essential selfie with a bear! Base camp was then calling and the days challenges were rounded off with a session of axe throwing and fire lighting, which wouldn’t be complete without marshmallows, of course! Having worked up an appetite, the team were then whisked away for a dinner and quiz night, where the competition continued, and glasses were raised to the Carterwood team.
“I am immensely proud of everything the team have achieved over the past year and so pleased that we have been able to recruit in such challenging times. We have all been working remotely for so long and have been really looking forward to the time we can all meet again. The safety and wellbeing of the team is always a prime consideration, and we took great care to ensure that everyone was able to come together in a way in which they feel safe and comfortable. Having all the team together in one place, seeing what an amazingly talented group of people they are and celebrating our successes together is an incredible feeling, and we can’t wait to see where the next year will take us.”
