Book Review - There's No Elevator to the Top

"There is no elevator to the top" is one of the most insightful books I have read on what it takes to get to the top but not only get there but stay there as an effective leader. It is refreshing that Umesh has not just put his views across but the actual opinions of those who have done it for themselves - real people rather than the normal authors theorising about something they ahve never experienced for themselves the. The powerful real experiences of these indivudals is brought to life by Umesh and is of real benefit to those who aspire to real leadership positions. I found it an easy rerad through a well structured book containg many relevant anecdotes and experiences for people to understand, develop or rediscover their  leadership qualities. Read on>>

Easter Holiday Stag Ideas - Paintballing with a Difference

If you are thinking of booking your stag do over the Easter period what about paintballing with a difference. How does shooting at a 6ft high rabbit  running around the fields sound? One draw back though- this rabbit maybe sghooting back at you. Yes we dress someone up in a rabbit suit and your job for day is to shoot him as much as you can. Sounds a good laugh to me (not if you're in the suit!). .

Whisky and Water

We have a great new package for you this year called Whisky and Water. Not only do you get to sample some great outdoor activities such as canyoning and quad biking but as if that wasn't enough we'll also take you on a whisky distillery tour. We don't finish there because this isn't an average tour this is actually a masterclass with a free gift, tasting, and sampling included.

Visit our website for more information tyo take advantage of this memorable package for your stag weekend.

2008 An Award Winning Year for Call of the Wild

Barclays Outstanding Training Organisation Award

This caps an outstanding 18 months for the Company having won a list of accolades.
In December we were named finalists for the Outstanding Training Organisation Award at the Barclays Bank Finance Academy  Supplier Awards 2008. This is for development programmes designed and delivered for the Barclays Graduate Development Programme across the UK.

“We are absolutely delighted to named as a finalist in this prestigious award category with one of the largest financial institutions in the UK. It is recognition of the effectiveness of our work with Barclays. It was our innovation and creativity in offering not only results but something different for our clients that was commented on by judges. This, combined with the other awards won in 2008, puts Call of the Wild up there as Wales’ premier personal development and events company competing on the UK stage” explained Director Kevin Gould.

National Team Building Company of the Year

We are currently the National Team Building Company of the Year. This demonstrated that our work in the fields of management training, team building and leadership development is recognised as some of the best in the country.

Welsh Small Business of the Year

Although we were delighted to win the National Team Building Company of the Year Award, in May 2008 we were also named the Welsh Small Business of the Year.

If possible, it was even more pleasing to win this award. This is because this award is not just restricted to our market sector. “We were competing against all business’ in Wales  and therefore the award means so much more in terms of overcoming the fierce competition in this category, ” explained Geraint Lewis, Managing Director.
