Akzo Nobel Team Build "The Apprentices" Tuesday 13th July 2010

Camden Lock London Town didnt know what had hit it on Tuesday as the Juice Team arrived to set up for the most successful Team Building exercise we have EVER done! The day was flawless from start to finish, with not a hiccup in sight. The team set about transforming the Holiday Inn, Camden Lock into a chocoholics paradise! Our Brief was we had to create 4 chocolate stations where 8 teams competed against one another to win over Sir Alan and become winner of the Apprentice using their dynamic sales tactics and impressive marketing skills. The stations we created included a cup cake stand, a chocolate truffles delight, chocolate mould stand and a chocolate portrait station. All were very impressive and rather tasty! The Teams arrived promptly at midday where they met the all important Sir Alan Sugar and enjoyed a buffet working lunch with their business observers. After all the food came the fun! The master chocolatiers demonstrated the 4 various tasks to the appointed teams and then it was GO GO GO SELL SELL SELL!! First they had to make the chocolate, brand it (think of a top notch name) and then create labels using our in house graphic design team. They then boxed it and designed posters so that they could go and sell to the unassuming British public. After 3 hours of blood sweat and tears the results were in and the varying degrees of productivity were assessed by our very own Alan Sugar in a mock up style TV board room with the teams and business observers all putting in their two pennies worth! The boardroom was hilarious and we here at Juice felt that it was our most successful feedback session yet! After a great photo finale and the prizes being handed out, they all headed off to Gilgamesh for an orientally infused meal and to finish off the perfect day a video presentation of the whole event! Our feedback was excellent ..."We at AkzoNobel cant thank you enough for making our marketing workshop such a memorable day. There was endless positive feedback from the 80+ team in terms of the overall organisation of teh day and the fantastic Apprentice activity. I have now lost count of the 'it could not have been better' comments. Thanks once again to you all and all the people involved in making this a success". I think a HUGE SUCCESS had by all... I cannot wait for the next one!
