Last week Hand Picked Hotels teamed up with event management experts Hi5 Events to demonstrate to local businesses that there’s no need to go far from the office to have the perfect ‘away day’.
Twenty guests representing a range of local businesses enjoyed an evening full of fun, games, fantastic food and terrific team building activities on Wednesday 24th May at an event that combined activities at both St Helier’s AA Five Star Grand Jersey Hotel & Spa and the AA four Silver Star L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa in St Brelade.
The evening started with a mixology session and lessons in how to make some of Grand Jersey’s most popular cocktails before the teams were whisked off by Signature coaches to L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa for more excitement and inclusive activities such as creating marble runs, testing vocabulary skills with pistol scrabble and attempting competitive coordination challenges.
After the testing tasks, the beautiful Terrace at L’Horizon was the setting where guests enjoyed drinks and delicious canapés as the sun went down. But the fun didn’t end there, guests returned to Grand Jersey to round off the evening with some decadent dessert canapés served on the Terrace, overlooking St Aubins Bay.
Commenting on the innovative event, Simon Miller General Manger of L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa said, “Team building is important within businesses and we are delighted to have joined forces with the perfect partner to showcase our fantastic meeting, events, training and conference facilities. Hi5 deliver some amazing local events and as Hand Picked Hotels have two of the most sophisticated venues on the island, offering a choice of meeting rooms and flexible event areas to host them in we have the complete package to inspire any organisation and provide something truly unique.”
