Team Building & Management Events

In today's workplace staff are your most valuable asset. Getting them to understand your company's ethos, learning to work together and being able to demonstrate their true personalities can be difficult to achieve in the confines of an office or classroom environment. Place them in a stimulating and unique location and your staff are certain to return to their place of work not only better individuals, but more importantly conscious of being a member of a team.
Being at sea and working together helps to develop leadership skills, improves the ability to communicate and solve problems. Specifically structured activities encourage confidence building and personal development, whilst living and working together highlights individual attitudes and behaviour.

A Unique Environment

Unlike other venues Kitty offers a unique environment in which to live and work. Built in 1895, she is one of few remaining Thames Sailing Barges. 25 metres long, with approximately 3,000 square feet of sail, Kitty can accommodate 14 people for a residential course. The main saloon can be transformed from a dining room, to a classroom with over-head projectors, flip charts and video facilities within minutes.

Accommodation is in a number of cabins and all catering is carried out by the ship's chef.

Programmes Designed for Your Team

Programmes are designed according to your specific requirements, from intensive cross channel trips, to calmer coastal voyages. Incorporated into the programme are numerous events, such as raft construction, basic navigation and seamanship, all of which require the development of new skills together with the use of old.

Whether used in conjunction with a training company, or independently with your own training department, Kitty provides a challenging environment where teamwork is essential and personal achievements are frequently exceeded.
