Undercover Actors!
This is not some blog about how we do team building characters on fun spy missions. Nope. More interesting than that – and more real. Every now and again we’ve been asked to do a job that is a little out of the ordinary. As opposed to a big showy performance, like people often want,…

GDPR compliance – it just makes sense

It’s kicking off!
It’s the time of year for us when the entertainment side of work overlaps slightly with the training and conference needs of businesses.
