Summer
Away Day
On selected days throughout the working year the ever growing team at ICE loosen their ties, replace the business shirts with t-shirts, don the jeans and spend the day looking at what makes the organisation tick.
Our most recent 'Away Day' was also a chance to look at ways in which our team can celebrate our upcoming 10th birthday, and some fantastic ideas have been suggested ... so watch this space!
Whilst the morning looked at our ongoing business development, the main emphasis was on learning more about the people we work with. One exercise saw us discover that we have a ‘father to be’ amongst our ranks, along with a vast array of divers, a movie actor (well an extra) and a number of martial arts experts!
Bad weather meant a plan for outdoor activities in the afternoon were replaced with a trip to the bowling alley.
Paul Fergusson, our IT man, talked up a good game, however after opening with a series of stunningly glorious gutter balls it soon became clear he was in for a long day ahead.
Our senior marketing practitioner, Jayne Hampson also made it to the bloopers reel. Her desire to rip the ball down the lane as fast as humanly possible saw her impressive wind-up become too powerful, and as she approached the lane the ball flew from her grasp and in the direction of her team mates waiting behind who quickly scurried to safety.
