We’ve been around since 1994, so we know what we’re doing.

Some teambuilding companies only cater for larger groups. At Corporate Challenge, we have plenty of activities suitable for teams of under 15, so small groups and organisations are welcome. Whether you need an activity for 5 people or 5000, we can help.(Minimum ? Maximum?)
