McDermotts Fun Day
2024
Client
Background and Objectives:
- To bring office & site employees together to celebrate our 30th anniversary.
- To reward employees & their supportive families with an inclusive & fun event.
Delegates
300 Employees
McDermotts Company Fun Day
The Event: McDermotts are a culture driven organisation who hold up to three internal events per year. In summer 2024, they chose to continue their 8 year partnership with Eventurous.
The team at Eventurous were tasked with holding a summer fun day and milestone celebration for their 30th anniversary.
With this special occasion in mind, Helena Davis, Brand and CSR Executive at McDermotts asked the team at Eventurous to fully manage an event that was filled with inclusive fun for all ages and abilities and one that created lasting memories for years to come. They wanted to mix things up with new and exciting games and entertainment they had not had access to previously.
Eventurous were responsible for everything from sourcing the right venue to organising their 30th anniversary theming and supplying and hosting team activities and entertainment on the day.
The Venue: In 2023, the expert venue finding team were tasked with finding an alternative solution to an outdoor marquee. The team proposed a tipi venue based in the midlands just 30 minutes from their head office in Birmingham and the client has never looked back.
The delegates were so delighted with the switch to a tipi, complimenting it’s festival feel and exclusivity. The organisers felt that the open sides of the tipi allowed for full use of the indoor and outdoor facilities without segregating people whilst offering shelter if needed. A post event survey showed 100% of attendees rated the venue Good or Excellent!
One attendee said, “The tipi was great, very nice with good facilities. I would definitely come here again!”
