Thanks for your interest. Since doing the team build with you it's been like working with a new team! At the first team meeting following the event, we used the list of what makes a high performing team and chose a couple of issues each. We then revisit these each monthly team meeting identifying where we're doing well against these, and where we're not. A sense of perspective has also embedded itself so that small annoying issues that really dont merit knocking us off course remain that way (this was completely the opposite before) eg desk moves or someone replying in a tone that wasnt absolutely perfect. We're also using a very tactile buddying system so no one is working completely on their own.

We’d like to thank you for your participation at the recent MT Conference. We have received a lot of very positive feedback specifically about your session. The graduates particularly enjoyed having to work together as team for the Olympic Challenge and the experience of putting together a live news reel. Thank you once again for all your hard work in designing and delivering this team building activity to reflect our brief, to support the development of this key group of young leaders in our organisation.

Hi Richard, I just wanted to say thank you for the Recipe for Success day - it really was a great success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves immensely. I think there was a degree of relief when they realised they had to cook and not dance! The photographs are great and once again, our sincere thanks for putting on such an excellent, well organised and enjoyable day. A special thank you to Matt for pulling all of this together and being so patient with me when I was trying to get our internal procedures sorted out.
Amanda Beasley, PPS Project & Communications Manager, Mitchell's & Butlers plc,
Just wanted to say many thanks for a great day on Wednesday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. All in all I felt we had achieved our objectives for the day which was to work together with other members of the Investment Team. New skills were certainly displayed, which means we may never be the same again!!
Bonita Anthony Senior Information Officer, London Field Directorate.
Just a quick E mail to say thanks for last week, we seem to have a really good feedback to the event and it has helped with our comms into the centre at Westwood. So thanks for you help will be in touch in June re the future and options for things.
Mike Felgate, Plant Manager, Grain Power Station
Quest provided a first rate service in helping us understand our team dynamics. We had a mixture of knowledge on tools such as Myers Briggs and they expertly ensured everyone was on the same page quickly. They also made these tools really come to life for our team by making them relevant to our everyday work. The end result was a detailed Development Plan for my team as a whole which far exceeded my expectations - the input from Quest was crucial here."
Phil Sheehy, Head of Products, RBS Cards.
Thank you so much for our team offsite yesterday - everyone has been raving about it this morning. They enjoyed the cooking so much that they’ve been asking me for the recipes that were used so they can prepare their own gourmet meals at home. Once again thank you , we all had a fab time !!!

I've been involved in a vast myriad of training in my time with Grid and I appreciate it when people really invest time and effort on my development (and allow me to win!). Keep it up!
Thomas Ireland
Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the team at Quest – outstanding job from you guys as ever

From our point of view the main success of the event was due to your ability to tailor the day to suit our needs… you also adapted to our budget… you listened to our objectives and literally incorporated them… and transferred them into a workable and entertaining programme…It was excellent value for money when you consider not only everything that went into the events but more importantly what everyone got out of them.
Lisa Smith & Dave Gallagher – Regional Water Quality & Business Planners.
As expected, Quest came up with the goods; well-prepared and sensitive to the original brief. We’ll be back for more!
Mike Alsop - Group Training Manager
We have recently experienced one of the most memorable and demanding team building exercises in the last decade, whilst maintaining fun and team spirit as key attributes of this event. The organization and delivery of the event was handled with enthusiasm and professionalism from the Quest team, and they have delivered exactly what the brief prescribed. One of my colleagues suggested the event was managed “like a well oiled machine!” I would have no hesitation in recommending Quest to any other business wishing to organize a similar event, and will I probably use their services again.
Kevin Dady – Executive Director, Capita Group PLC
Quest were excellent as usual – The “human” touch is much appreciated.
David Pope– Senior Manager in Personal Choice & High Value Segment - Lloyds TSB
Providing a team building event for our IT Support Staff from Inverness down to Exeter, getting them all to one location and motivated is not an easy task. You have now achieved this two years running, and with very different themes….”
Pearl Cash – Senior Manager
The depth of preparation that your team had undertaken and the wide range of activities that were laid on for us was impressive. They made the three days unforgettable and a huge amount of fun. You have a very professional team, from whom we learned a lot about each other and ourselves…I look forward to the next one.
Tim Cook – Joint CEO Family Genetix Ltd.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the truly professional manner in which Quest delivered the excellent training weekend. Everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and also learned a great deal about the theory of group work and leadership within that context. Both the exercises and the teaching sessions were well planned, and well executed.
Sue Pocklington Lead Course Organiser/Lecturer - Institute of General Practice.
…We were extremely impressed with the quality of work that you did for us… well designed… and run in a very professional manner…the event was both effective in meeting the development objectives and also a lot of fun for the participants. Working with an international group of consultants is a challenging task and I feel that Quest were able to meet and exceed our expectations. A measure of our satisfaction with your work is obviously that we would like you to submit an additional proposal for helping us with our course in Frankfurt later in the year.
Rachel Clark – PriceWaterhouseCoopers
On behalf of my team I would like to offer our thanks for the brilliant team offsite you conducted with us last week. I think it goes to say that we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and certainly developed a range of transferable skills for team working that we can take back to the office

“The Challenge was great fun and reflecting together at the end of the day highlighted some important behaviours that can be applied to the workplace.”
“This was the most enjoyable team day I have ever been on – please can we have more of the same!”
“The best team day I have been on in a long time – well organised, great fun and a good way to learn more about myself and how to work together as a team.”
