Business Spotlight Questions & Answers 
with Accolade Corporate Events

Many of our female readers have mentioned in the past that they decided to go it alone in business and have found it a bit of a lonely journey to take; maybe partnering up and joint ventures would be a good option for them to consider! 


Q: So how did the two of you meet and what made you decided to go into partnership and create this concept together? Are two heads really better than one?

A: We met when both of us were freelancing for other team building companies. We both recognised in each other the enthusiasm that we had for the industry and loved discussing new creative team events. We felt that there was a gap in the market for eye for detail and a personalised service and so we set up Accolade Corporate Events and we are proud to say that we still have some clients that we started with all those years ago. Two heads are definitely better than one! We bounce ideas off each other and we have a small creative team that thrives on challenges – it’s a fun place to work.



Q: So tell us more about the Accolade Corporate Events team building service! What is Team Building for those who do not know, and how has team building changed over the years 

A: Team building events have definitely changed over the years. It used to be that people were thrown in the middle of nowhere and asked to navigate their way back on a cold wet day or asked to build a raft. It’s exactly because of these old school team activities that we created a broad range of different fun team building events – on the basis that if we would like to take part in them, then so would our clients! Team events such as Team Apprentice and Team Generation Game are just two of our very successful events that corporate clients just love.


Q: How can our readers and their businesses benefit from your team building services?

A: Clients normally come to us with their objectives, they may have a conference for 200 people and after lunch they need them all energised, we can do that very easily or they may need their conference message reinforced in a fun environment – again that’s no problem. Objectives that we hear time after time are building communication, one team company and breaking down barriers.
We encourage clients to tell us about their objectives and their teams and then we can provide them with effective corporate events solutions.

Q: That sounds great - so where can our readers find you and get in touch to find out more?

A: We love a challenge and encourage them to get in touch!
