Our trip with Bacchus was off the scale. Great in so many ways. Where do I start, 2 days of fun packed team building adventure pushing people out of their comfort zones supported all the way by the Bacchus team. So many laughs and memories coupled with great wine, food, accommodation in a fantastic coastal setting. Highly recommended. 5*.

Thank you so much for heading up such a wonderful trip. Everyone loved it, and felt special to be there. Everything from the cycling to the Via Ferrata, to the restaurants was an absolute hit. What a great place! Very much down to your organisation and leadership skills. It means a lot that we can leave the management over the few days up to you.

I wanted to thank you and the team for our few days in Igls. As our first full team event it exceeded my expectations, everybody was buzzing when they got back to work and as we planned the buzz was as much about what we are trying to do with the business as much as the challenge of the track. The feedback has been universally positive and several of the group have described it as ‘the best teaming event I have ever been on by a long way.’

Since returning, the team have been constantly talking about the whole trip — it has really helped the overall moral and atmosphere within the company and will be remembered for a long time. It fitted so well in to a long weekend which also meant that there was minimal disruption to the work schedule. I have already recommended this trip to my friends and clients and as a fully fledged member of the 5G club, I look forward to returning later in the year with SYS.

I wanted those members of the sales team that had over achieved their annual targets (by a considerable amount) to be rewarded with an experience that they would remember for the rest of their lives. I didn’t want it to be a ticket to Rio or New York however, it had to be an experience that built even greater confidence, team spirit and therefore benefit to the business. Tony Wallington explained to me what he was trying to achieve in team building through extreme, but ultimately safe, ice sports. I have known Tony for a number of years through the Cresta Run and because of his outstanding management of the British Bobsleigh Team and knew that he would be consummately professional and safe in his execution of his course – these were after all my best sales people. I cannot exaggerate the success of the experience for the team. They came back thrilled by the experience and by their own achievements in overcoming – let’s face it – fear. I was delighted when pretty well all of them said that it was the most amazing thing they have ever done, and more delighted when they started asking what the target they needed to achieve to go back next year. It achieved everything that I wanted it to achieve.

On behalf of all at Catalyst, a huge thank for putting on a trip of a lifetime. The whole event was fantastic from the ease of getting to Innsbruck and the track, the organization, the sheer absolute enjoyment of all the runs, the hotel, the restaurants and even the weather (how do you do that??)! It is very rare that one short trip manages to generate quite such an emotional rollercoaster as Innsbruck did last week. The trepidation before the first skeleton run; the exhilaration of the first bobsleigh descent; the fear of the first ice wall collision; the soaring joy of completing a slick descent, and the roaring disappointment of a fluffed one (I had a number of these as you may remember!). And of course the utter exhaustion of the return journey home. That was quite simply the best corporate event, with the most fun group of guests and hosts, that I have ever been on. Many, many thanks for the privilege of joining you, and many thanks for organising such an outstanding trip.
