The team have not stopped talking about how much they enjoyed their team building trip to Firbush. It was really well organised and slickly executed by an engaging and fun-loving team who also clearly knew their stuff. And of course, what a location! Such was the enjoyment and value to the department I've already asked the team to set up the same again for next year.
