Here are some comments from clients about recent Fresh Tracks events:

"We learnt so much about each other - it certainly knocked the socks off the last one we did. The facilitators were so much fun, they did a fabulous job. We were able to take the new information we learned on the first day and apply/talk about it on the second day. We are going through a very stressful time at work and need to be able to work together and support each other. We all feel that we will be able to do this so much better now than we were able to do in the past. Knowing how to deal with each other when in conflict will be particularly helpful."
Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, October 2009

"The Chocolate Challenge was a well organised event that drew on the strengths of the entire team and got everyone working together. Everyone is still talking about how much fun it was. The programme was well thought through and designed and the team was energised and motivated as a result. It built trust and an understanding of the complexities in other team members' roles"
Merck Sharp & Dohme, October 2009

"A fantastic event! Tom was a fantastic facilitator and even booked our table for dinner afterwards. The results session was fun and competitive - everyone talked about it for weeks after. The activities were a great selection to keep everyone busy - they've obviously been well thought out. It was the first event for the Exec team after our merger. Everyone is now more open with each other and communication has improved. Overall this was just what we were looking for and we will definitely recommend you to anyone in need of team building. Thanks so much!!"
Elemica, September 2009

"I just wanted to drop you a quick note on behalf of the team and myself to thank you very much for all your efforts on Tuesday. The team really enjoyed themselves and I have had lots of good feedback from the day. I thought the facilitation was excellent and the observations were very insightful and humorous with some powerful learning messages. Well done and I look forward to working again with you soon."
Watson Wyatt Limited, June 2009

"Fresh Tracks met all our expectations and we were very impressed. …..They moved the goal posts for us and were able to modify to our needs and feed information back to us, which is extremely important."
TradingScreens (UK) Ltd, February 2009

"What an excellent 2 days in Derbyshire!
I can honestly say I've really noticed how much closer the team have grown since the event. We now have get-togethers (coffee mornings) in the diary during work time, plus a plan for out-of-work events. There is a much stronger bond than existed before, however, I can see we need to keep working at it as the hectic pace of Roche took over again immediately. Oh, and I've also caught a cooking bug! Can't stop cooking."
Roche Products Limited, February 2009
