			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Our Family Fun Days are designed to offer that perfect balance between fun, excitement and entertainment. Perfect for rewarding employees, clients and their families, Family Fun Days are tailor-made to meet, exactly, your likes and your objectives.</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>How It Works</strong></span></h1>
<p>We will offer you suggestions and guidance as you choose the right location, activities, entertainers, inflatables and rides. Family Fun Days are perfect for groups from 100 to 1000 as the structure of the event allows for significantly large groups to be well-catered for. We will discuss with you the profile of your guests, your objectives (for example charity, reward, community fun), the location and your budget, and then put together a Day which meets each of your requirements. We will guarantee excellent event management, a high quality service, fun and smiles all round, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee perfect weather!</p>
<p>Past clients have chosen fireworks, staged events, organised competitions and challenges; bands; controlled entrance with security; portrait photography services and caricaturists. Take a look at our picture gallery &#8211; it&#8217;ll give you a clue. We&#8217;ll bring everything together &#8211; seamlessly.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>What&#8217;s Included?</strong></span></h1>
<p>Event Manager; Additional Staff Team; First Aider/Paramedic; Entertainers; Inflatables; Rides.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Location</strong></span></h1>
<p>We can host this event on our grounds in the Midlands, or else find the perfect location for you. This event is fully mobile.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Value</strong></span></h1>

<h1>Developing teams is a crucial aspect for any organisation to consider and improve whatever business it’s in. An organisation is only as good as its team spirit and cohesion. The Team Development courses we design are done so around the organisation and its unique characteristics. These courses are extremely effective when run in conjunction with outdoor team building activities.</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>What’s in the box?</strong></span></h1>
<ul>
<li>Effective communication</li>
<li>Identifying and clarifying common goals</li>
<li>Sharing best Practice</li>
<li>Motivation</li>
<li>Individual and Team Responsibilities</li>
<li>Trust and Honesty</li>
<li>Identifying the culture of the organisation</li>
</ul>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The Outcomes</strong></span></h1>
<p>A more energised and bonded team are the most immediate benefits of this course. They will have developed creative and practical skills to overcome communication obstacles, and so will better understand their own and other team members&#8217; shared strengths, and how to harness these in order to achieve a shared objective.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>How many people?</strong></span></h1>
<p>The course should have a minimum and 10 and maximum of 50.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Duration</strong></span></h1>
<p>This is entirely dependent on the organisation and the numbers involved. The course can be integrated into a full day team building activity or run as a ½ day or full day course on its own.</p>

<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Why?</strong></h1>
<p>A survey conducted in 2005 revealed that 28% of respondents indicated their number one fear as being death whereas 42% said that it was public speaking!  Jerry Seinfeld – the US comedian quipped: “when attending a funeral if the average person was given the choice, they would rather be in the coffin than giving the eulogy”.</p>
<p>Effective leadership almost always requires the skill of good speaking – which can often make up for a lack of other skills.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>What’s in the box?</strong></h1>
<p>This workshop will be tailored to the client’s specific requirements and will include:</p>
<ul>
<li>First Impressions – Everything matters</li>
<li>The theory of body language, tone of voice and words</li>
<li>Confidence – How to fake it until you make it</li>
<li>Lessons from the Cadbury Gorilla!</li>
<li>What does the audience want?</li>
<li>Presentations – how to wow your audience</li>
<li>5 minute presentations with feedback</li>
<li>A framework for all presentations</li>
</ul>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>What are the outcomes?</strong></h1>
<p>Whilst we cannot promise to entirely remove all nerves from making presentations, participants will definitely feel more confident given that they will better understand themselves, what the audience wants, and have a framework on which to hang all presentations.  Most important, participants will be able to deliver with energy and passion.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>How many people?</strong></h1>
<p>How many people is entirely dependent on the nature of your organisation.  This course can run with groups of 5 to 25 people. The numbers of delegates will then dictate the course length.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Duration of course</strong></h1>
<p>This course runs either for ½ day or full day depending on numbers. </p>

<h1>Increasing sales has, and always will be, one of the most important objectives for any organisation. Whilst the internet has forever changed the way many organisations sell their products, most sales will still rely on a customer interacting with a sales person. This course is designed to help develop sales people and the sales skills that are required to convert an enquiry into a sale. Let’s face it, there’s little point in an organisation being in business unless it is doing everything it can to generate sales performance. This course will have a direct positive impact on your bottom line.</h1>

<p>Sales managers, sales executives and anyone involved in face-to-face or phone selling.</p>

<li>Phone techniques – converting a call to a meeting</li>
<li>What are buyers looking for in a sales person?</li>
<li>Prioritising opportunities – Time Management</li>
</ul>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The Outcomes</strong></h1>
<p>Participants will be much more confident in selling and have a clear, simple to use framework and structure that will make it much easier to sell.</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>How many people?</strong></h1>

<h1>The customer experience determines how a customer ‘feels’ about the service they receive. This then goes a long way in determining whether they use that product/service again.
