Corporate Events and Team Workshops: David has worked in training and development for 15 years, and still works as a team and leadership development consultant to a number of companies. His experience means that he is intimately aware of the needs and requirements of corporate and teambuilding events. We can run corporate events for up to 25 people at Fir Mount House at a very cost effective price.Here are some ideas of how your day might run, but each event would be tailored to meet your exact requirements:

  • A relaxed morning of demonstrations followed by lunch. A pressure free reward for a hard working team.
  • A day of hands-on cookery tuition. Learn together as a group, get to know each other and share a common experience outside the office environment.
  • A challenging day of tasks for your team. We turn the heat up with a series of challenges for the team, providing expert input along the way. The team will need to work together, communicate, learn and apply their learning, organise themselves effectively and demonstrate initiative and resourcefulness. By the end of a full day the team will have produced a top class dinner which they can then relax and enjoy in the Fir Mount House dining room.
  • Catch It 'n' Cook It. Half a day in Start Bay on a well appointed fishing boat followed by half a day at Fir Mount House preparing, cooking and eating your catch
  • Wine and Food Matching. Prepare the finest food, match it with the finest wine and eat it in the finest company. We will bring in a wine expert who will teach you how to choose wines to match your meals.

We are also able to offer off site corporate and Team Events at a location to suit your group.
