Case Study 1
UBS - Graduate and Analyst Training Programmes
UBS regularly employs The Circus Space as part of their graduate and analyst training programmes. UBS employees spend between three and six hours at The Circus Space learning challenging and fun circus skills with their new colleagues. The objectives of these workshops are to get new employees networking, bonding as a team and to act as an icebreaker in a fun & comfortable environment.
“Intimacy and ease of how well people got stuck in, broke the ice, got to know faces to put to names, built relationships, work with others, network outside usual work group”
Facilitators feedback - UBS

Case Study 2
Unilever (Antwerp) - Senior Management Conference
Unilever's European Centre for Home and Personal Care sought out The Circus Space to help them deliver key messages at their annual senior management conference in a dynamic, inspiring and effective way. The one-day program focused on experiencing specific management skills integral to the Company's Path to Growth strategy.
“By far the best cascade event I have been at. Even more importantly it has established behaviour and enterprise as key to our success. I personally believe that without this we will be neglecting a critical success factor”
Ralph Kugler, President - HPCE Lever-Faberge (Unilever)

Case Study 3
Marine Stewardship Council -
Team building workshop
A three-hour team building course where, through the use of circus skills in a fun, creative way, participants learnt to communicate more effectively, support and trust each other.
“One staff member commented that he found it particularly interesting that he "had to rely on a certain member of staff who he would not normally rely upon". Everyone expressed a desire to repeat this type of teambuilding event, and many were specifically interested in another circus skills activity”
Raquel Dubois - Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)

Quotes

British American Tobacco
“Provided excellent team building / getting to know you activity for new and existing Management trainees - Created positive impression on new graduates, Encouraged team-working and networking”

BT
“It proved that we can do (almost) anything with the support of others and people can step out of their comfort zones in a safe environment”

Chubb Insurance
“Trainers were very professional and built rapport quickly. Felt very confident and safe”

Churchill Insurance
“Very well organised and not as physical as I thought, overall a great day out”

Credit Swiss First Boston
I thought the valuable aspect of the afternoon was the chance to meet other colleagues who you would otherwise have very little opportunity to socialise with. Session was a great equaliser and everyone can work as a team. The presenters actively encouraged people to take part and everybody participated and was willing to participate even though some had restraints due to injuries etc. I thought it was really well done. Everything was explained clearly and enthusiastically to maintain interest throughout the duration of the day.

“Fun and energetic - whilst being informative - improved teamwork”

Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein
“Great for learning new skills & realising how it feels, great for team work, challenging & fun. It was all-superb - I highly recommend the work of Circus Space. You work to the highest level of professionalism & make a really strong effort to meet our needs, thank you”

Impact
“Morale booster, team building after lots of recent changes & new staff - very good”

Marks & Spencer
“It has brought a disparate team together. It has shown people they can achieve great things and it allowed them time to ‘play’ - I know this is not the most constructive of comments but there was not a weak point and it was all strong”

McKinsey
“Excellent bonding experience”

Nationwide Trust
“Aim was to have fun, learn & make fools of ourselves & we did all three - Good team building, working together & supporting each other, and being able to laugh at each other - Can’t think of a weak point”

Pegasus
“Completely met our needs for staff team building and creating closer journalistic relations”

Performance Dialogue
“Fully met our objectives, particularly the clown & mask workshop -It will give them a common shared experience from which to draw many learning’s that they can relate to at work and as individuals for some time - This is my second experience of using Circus Space and on both occasions my expectations have been exceeded”

PriceWaterhouseCoopers
Got people talking / interacting with new people, good team spirit / shared experience - no weaknesses, we really enjoyed ourselves. It’s more than we normally pay, but worth it.”

Silver Leaf Productions
“What was perhaps most pleasing was the fact that after a few hours participants were achieving something quite challenging and exciting that perhaps previously, they could not have dreamt of doing”

UBS
“Very well organised, friendly staff- Was fun, got energy, met people, sense of achievement, bonding of whole group - overall excellent”

UBS Warburg (Analysts training workshop)
“The workshop fully met my objectives. The goal of the workshop was to team-build and act as an icebreaker among the analysts. By the end of the workshop people were laughing as they had shared a common experience. They will now be able to network better with each other as they have this common experience to build friendships & support on. I am constantly surprised how fast people bond from the workshop and the amount of personality I am able to see in each person.

Vedaris
“It was great day and perfect choice for Vedaris fun day - It was a fabulous day - thank you”

Webb Development
“I am writing to convey my thanks for the highly professional approach that you and the team provided before and during our event. The positive and patient approach that Lila, Jackie, Juan and Matt had with our group was fantastic. Our team had a great time, and the Circus Space event blended in with the rest of the two day-day workshop perfectly - Rated overall afternoon 9 out of 10”
