"What did you do at work today?"..."Oh not much, just built a massive platform extravaganza for some lovely little goaties to climb" 🐐🐐🐐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have just about recovered from our absolutely monumental mission last week! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 150 people from @taylorwimpey joined us to turn this grassy enclosure at @woburn_safari into an incredible adventure playground! Woburn's goats can now enjoy an enormous 3D space to exercise, climb and explore 🐐🐐🐐 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over three 2hr sessions, 50 people at a time successively built this structure from the ground up. It was our biggest build to date and it's safe to say it was a HUGE success. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A big thank you to @arnold_laver for providing the large timber order so quickly! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All in a day's work with BITE 👍💪👌 . . #teambuild #teambuilding #teambuildingwithbite #team #build #building #travel #eventplanning #creative #diy #corporate #corporateworkshop #wood #work #event #eventmanagement #animals #woodwork #timber #teamspirit #teamwork #safari #dreamteam #goats #taylorwimpey #exercise #explore #climb #goat #zookeeper

150 people joined us yesterday for an absolutely mammoth build where we constructed a multi-level adventure playground for the goats of @woburn_safari. 🐐🐐🐐 Each group built on the progress of the previous one, with an overwhelming sense of achievement at the end of the day which brought everyone together in a way you just can't replicate inside the workplace! 🐐🐐🐐 Even we can't believe just how much we managed to achieve, and we are very proud of our biggest build to date! What's even better is that the keepers and goats are over the moon with their enclosure transformation! What a turnaround for 1 weeks planning and 1 days work! 💪 Check out our Facebook page for more photos!

Taking your team out of the workplace...why is it good? How is it worthwhile? Why bother? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ **sigh** It's a lot of effort!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But have you ever stopped to ask yourself what makes your business or organisation function? What keeps it alive? What keeps it beating? What's at the ❤️ of it of it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, if your whole team quit tomorrow you'd be a bit stuck, not to mention a bit gutted, correct? (Well we kinda hope so anyway) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which means that although there are many ingredients that make a fantastic business or organisation... at the heart ❤️ is YOUR TEAM! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Taking your team out of the office can improve communication, trust, collaboration, creativity, momentum, morale, respect, empathy, engagement, staff relations and confidence just to name a few. In addition, it can mitigate conflicts, reduce staff turnover and break down stigmas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Plussssss it should be really memorable and get everyone talking together - providing it's a really cool team building event like ours! 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We know we keep talking about how team building is really cool, and we promise we will explain further as time goes on. But for now we're hitting our beds 🛌🛌 as we have an absolutely mammoth day tomorrow which we can't wait to share with you. Stay tuned 🐐🐐🐐 . . #teambuild #teambuilding #teambuildingwithbite #team #build #teamday #teamspirit #teamwork #communicate #network #dreamteam #work #worklife #boss #manager #career #workday #awayday #confidence #goat #promise #trust #empathy #stigma #turnover #bigday #sleep #event #eventmanagement

Collaboration....the definition, "working with someone, to produce something". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But when it comes to YOUR business or YOUR team, you don't just want to produce "something". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You want to produce something amazing...right!? 🌟🌟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So now you're thinking, yes of course! How do I improve the results of my team then!? 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, let's not think about results for a moment, let's look at your team as a whole. A more holistic approach shall we say. Let's instead ask "How can taking your team out of the workplace be a benefit to your team?" . . #teambuild #teambuilding #teambuildingwithbite #team #build #teamday #teamspirit #teamwork #communicate #network #dreamteam #work #worklife #boss #manager #career #workday #awayday #collaboration #results #whole #wholepicture #holistic #question #amazing #workplace #benefit #benefitme #advantage

So how exactly is a team building workshop with us an investment in your team? 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, 86% of employees and executives cite lack of collaboration or ineffective communication for workplace failures (Fierce.Inc). 😳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's likely to affect the ability to meet deadlines, employee morale, staff turnover, the workplace environment, customer relations and even profit margins, right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ok, but how do you solve it? How do you improve collaboration within the workplace? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We think the secret is taking your team OUT of the usual workplace...stay tuned to let us explain 🐅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #teambuild #teambuilding #teambuildingwithbite #team #teamspirit #teamwork #communicate #corporate #corporateworkshop #workshop #work #career #animals #event #work #worklife #boss #manager #career #workday #awayday #explain #workplace #failure #collaboration #communication #profit #deadline #success

So now you (hopefully) know a little more about what we do and why, but where in the 🌍 are we? Well it is a little confusing so don't worry if you aren't sure. We are a very small company and we don't actually have one base. We partner with popular venues across the UK, and run our team building events from these venues as an external party. That means that there is always a venue near you AND it means more animals benefit from your building skills! 🥳🦁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If there isn't a venue close enough for you then please don't worry, we have contacts all over the UK and internationally so just get in touch and we can sort you out! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So in case you didn't already know, our current venues include @woburn_safari @edinburghzoo @longleatofficial @knowsleysafari @portlympnepark and of course the wonderful private woodlands of Lakeview Monkey Sanctuary. AND if that wasn't enough we're always partnering with new venues so watch this space 👀 🦁🦁🦁 . #teambuild #teambuilding #teambuildingwithbite #team #build #design #creative #woodland #venue #hostvenue #teamspirit #teamwork #event #eventhost #eventplanning #eventmanagement #animal #animals #animalexperience #otter #cute #cuteanimal #location #wherearewe #zoo #safari #travel #sanctuary #external #smallbusiness

So why should you care what we do? You don't need to take your team on an expensive team building day....do you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤔 🐅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When was the last time you invested in the people that make up your team? Well if the answer is "I can't remember", "last year" or "we haven't really" then you might want to prick your ears ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WE BELIEVE YOUR TEAM IS YOUR STRENGTH IN THE WORKPLACE 💪💪💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But like every thriving house plant your team will always benefit from a bit of investment (to be clear we're not talking about the 🌱 plant that got forgotten in the corner and went a little brown and shrivelled (don't worry we've all been there)...we're talking about the one that you're really proud of because you invested a little more in it by watering it occasionally) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So with that in mind, we are going to take a slightly different route with our Instagram. Don't panic, there will still be plenty of awesome animal photos (who doesn't love that?) but we are going to focus a little more on why booking a team building event (with us!) is an investment in your team and why that matters. Add that to a little more injection of our wonderful humour and personality (sorry we're biased) and we hope you will be booking team builds with us time and time again! (That's our plan anyway!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐅🐅🐅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #teambuild #teambuilding #teambuildingwithbite #team #build #building #safari #longleatsafari #longleat #animal #animals #animalexperience #different #standout #humour #invest #investment #strong #strength #support #bitdifferent #teambuildingevent #eventplanning #teamgrowth #unique #bespoke #personality #newplan #plan #planofaction

So down to business...why do we do what we do? You might think putting power tools, wild animals and the public together is a crazy idea (insurance companies certainly do!)...so why do we do it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🐒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well within the animal industry time and money is very limited, so we solve this problem using (yep you guessed it!) your time and your money! 🐒 In return, you and your team get a bespoke team building event, and we're there to make it the most memorable, exciting and beneficial day possible...all whilst benefitting the animals that live at our hosting venues as they get to keep the enclosure furniture and enrichment items that you build!! We think that's a win-win really 👌 🐒 . #teambuild #teambuilding #teambuildingwithbite #team #build #building #design #designing #creative #diy #animal #animals #animalexperience #teamday #teamspirit #teamwork #communicate #network #dreamteam #whatwedo #whatdoyoudo #time #money #experience #problem #problemsolved #problemsolving #animalindustry #responsibility

Still a bit confused about what we do? We hear you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We provide team building (stay with us!) workshops across the UK. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our events are a little different though...forget the trust falls and newspaper bridges, think more giraffes, penguins, tigers and bears! 🐅🐅🐅Stay tuned for our next few posts and we will tell you why we do what we do, and why it should matter to you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #teambuild #teambuilding #teambuildingwithbite #team #build #teamday #different #BITE #network #animal #animals #animalexperience #lame #boring #awkward #fun #enjoy #laugh #smile #surprise #surpriseyou #memorable #work #worklife #boss #manager #career #workday #whoareyou #whoarewe

When your boss says the words 'team building exercise' what springs to mind is something a little lame, exceptionally awkward and probably quite boring, right? 🙊 When we say 'team building' what we really mean is 'come and build something that you will be really proud of, and then watch a giraffe stick it's bloody massive tongue in it!' .
