Great-something new and different. Very enjoyable cooking our lunch together by working as a team. ASDA

We enjoyed the introduction on how to be in a win-win situation, learning to cook Indian food, learning new combinations of spices, getting to know the rest of the team and mixing as a team. This is one of the best team building workshops we have attended and we have prepared some of the dishes at home too. NMSI team

The purpose of the weekend was partly team building, and partly a thank you to the managers for working hard and doing extremely long hours and a thank you to their partners for supporting them. Wackerneuson Company

 I thoroughly enjoyed the event. I found out that I knew next to nothing about spices and your explanation and demonstration was fascinating. I also really enjoyed the actual cooking – My Bombay spuds were a triumph! Haha! The whole team enjoyed the bit of friendly rivalry and it was a great team bonding exercise that everybody seemed to enjoy. Dave Parker Operations Director YO1 Radio
