Lifeplus was created by four men with widely diverse backgrounds who
were brought together by a shared desire to build a business that actually
helped other people. From its humble beginnings, it has grown into
a successful nutritional and health product business, serving people
across the globe.
THE CHALLENGE
To hold monthly events for new and upcoming business leaders in order get to know them on a more personal level as they embark on a more business-led journey.
• Engaging partners, sharing their own stories and experiences so far, which are always inspirational and there is a chance for people to ask them questions to help with their own development too. This requires large conference space complete with staging and amazing AV facilities in a setting that feels relaxed and reflects the brand values rather than a harsh corporate environment.
• Inclusion of some fun team building activities enabling the team to really build on the relationships that are key to the nature of the business and learning new skills.
• The trip concludes with a farewell meal. This is a time when associates can reflect on the week and what they have learnt and continue networking with other partners – sharing stories and making new friends.
• With some attendees travelling significant distances, Lifeplus wanted a venue that was as centrally located as possible. It was also aware that the very varied programme with attendees frequently moving around the venue might be disruptive to other users.
The company decided on the Executive Conference Centre at Wyboston Lakes, opting for exclusive use for the entire event. The centre, located close to major road networks was easily accessible for all attendees. Lunch was taken in the centre’s restaurant, a few metres from the main presentation areas, while attendees used the main lounge for coffee and tea breaks.
Team building events have been run partnership with the onsite leisure facilities at Ride Leisure incorporating both land and water activities dependent on the time of year. The dinner event was held in the hotel's main restaurant which was dressed to ensure a really special feel to mark the end of a fabulous event.
