The incentive

High-flying sales executives are driven by adrenalin.  The prospect of a day’s high wire excitement worked wonders for our clients, an international finance company.  In early summer, the incentive dream became a reality.

The reward for top performance was a UK-based activity event with high wire suspense.  This high wire event for high fliers gave them a unique endorphin rush. It left them with permanent happy memories.

The incentive event experience

30 winners travelled from across the UK to the event location in North Wales.  Motorway networks all feed into the area, so access is convenient.  After checking into the hotel, guests enjoyed the first day discovering Conwy.  The next morning, arriving at the event location, they were stunned by the scale and drama of the setting.  The site is huge.

This former slate quarry features high crags and dramatic slopes.  Spanning the chasms and steep sides is a system of cables.  Highfliers get their thrills, hanging below the cables, as they soar from the peaks down into the gullies at incredible speeds.

There is nothing like doing this for yourself to really appreciate the exhilaration and pride in completing the runs. Events for highfliers need to create a sense of achievement.

A small selection of photos is included here, but we have many more.
