Corporate

We offer Companies a new angle and innovative way to communicate vision, embrace change, to inspire, reward, motivate and commit to employees, business partners and customers. We can help you nurture their personal interests to engage them in a long lasting relationship that will have beneficial payback to you and your company.

Fulfilling an individual's needs to feel important, to achieve and to experience variety will lead to their personal growth, well rounded teams, closer relationships with customers and business partners and improved performances for your company.

Our objective is to put the individual at the centre of our services. By using the features on this website they can select from the range of activities that we have assembled or tell us about others they wish to do. They can develop their interests within a community of other people sharing their same interest including experts in those fields.

We can work with you to establish your company's budget, authority, needs and time scale measures.

We have assembled a range of activities that will add a different dimension

employee reward and recognition
sales incentives
consumer promotions
team bonding and social events
corporate entertaining
conference energisers
business networking and development days
cultural experiences for business guests from overseas.

Rewards and gifts can be personalised. Events can be customised with an activity, or a combination of activities, relevant to the objectives of the occasion and memorable enough to differentiate it.

Each activity has a physical or emotional element that improves an individual's skills and knowledge, satisfies their need to feel important and quenches their thirst for variety.

The benefits of some of the activities may not be clear at first although many academic articles and documents have been written promoting and attesting to the benefits of walking and getting close to nature and taking up creative special interests. A walk will enhance a persons health, fitness and well being and a shared experience can bond and unite a team. Weaving and spinning can improve hand-eye co-ordination and sense of relaxation essential in a modern world, for example. Many bring out the creative instinct that is needed to bring about change.

With our expert tutors and leaders we deliver creative and leisure activities that enable people to reach their full potential. Experiences like Photography, Digital Film Making and Learning to Paint will tease out a persons intuition and imagination, leading to change and evolution which will stick with them back in their workplace.
People perform better when they reach their full potential and this requires development beyond job and vocational training. Encouragement for employees to develop and progress in their interest will increase their confidence in their ability to learn, nurture a greater willingness to learn and in turn lead to more motivation at work.

Think of the satisfaction a person will get when they receive a personal gift or reward to indulge in their special interest or hobby. Relish the joy of a business partner when you've shown an interest in their favourite hobby or when you have given a customer the chance to try a new activity that they have been wanting to give a go for sometime . We will assist you in personalising your relationship with your employees, customers and business partners aiding you to progressively get to know them.

Our experiences will offer you a solution if:

you are exploring ideas for new policies and benefits.
you are looking for a fresh way of promoting company values and retaining staff.
you need to change or do things differently we will arrange space and time to initiate innovative thinking, new ideas and creativeness.
your Incentive Schemes needs a new line of relevant products that match a persons interests.
you are promoting health and well being

Enjoying every minute of it.

The activities are presented in a fun yet informative way and make memorable occasions. They make powerful “Happy Moments” for all. They are ideal for entertaining and socialising and make great ice-breakers with teams, customers and business visitors. They are good for applying the value of “Your Time” through rewards and gifts to individuals. By adding the element of a Derbyshire Experience they are a great way to give visitors from abroad a memorable reminder of their time with you in Britain.

Many activities are not dependant on the weather and can be laid on all the year round. They will appeal to the senses of those people preferring the comforts of the indoors although even with these we will recommend a break out session to provide exercise and a fresh air. And neither do we let the British weather spoil outdoor activities and with a little extra investment in the right protective clothing people can enjoy “four season” benefits of the natural environment.

Locations, Accommodation and Venues.

In general everybody knows that a change of scenery will do them good. There is no better change than swapping the usual working environment and getting away from it all.

We specialise in Derbyshire because it has:

a great diversity of landscapes and scenery which inspire
a high rating in the popularity stakes and wow factor.
a convenient location in the centre of the UK
a selection of accommodation and venues.

Skylark Holidays arrange complete experience packages including accommodation, meals and transportation . We are also happy to quote for just “activity only” sessions - such as an afternoon's wine tasting or a short walk for a conference energiser or a day fly fishing.

Different types of accommodation are available to suit your occasion and your budget. We can book from our accommodation and venue selection or work with you to arrange an activity experience at your preferred venue. You and ourselves have to be happy that the location and venue suit the needs and relevance of the event.
