We deliver convivial, purposeful, creative and memorable Away Days for teams.
If that’s what you need, we provide turnkey solutions for busy clients.
You can outsource the development of your event to us and we will ensure it is enjoyable, meaningful and memorable.
We can manage everything from conception to completion. And we are also a ‘one stop shop’ thanks to a network of local partners.
Think of it as ‘facilitation plus’ – facilitation in terms of preparation, the event itself and the follow up. Plus everything else an event needs to work. Always remembering, to quote an English proverb, ‘an army marches on its stomach’ 🙂

Our founder Nick Franchini is a member of the IAF which is the International Association Of Facilitators. Nick is a member of the IAF chapter in Italy and also contributes to professional continuous development at an international level.
Some of his techniques are listed on the IAF Methods Library.
Our principal location or setting is Todmorden but we can also offer locations with strong local knowledge in Italy (in Venice, the nearby Italian pre-alps, Bologna, Naples, Sorrento and the Basilicata) and Sao Miguel in the Azores.
In Todmorden we have developed a fine track record with a series of Away Days over the last few years. Nestled in the Upper Calder Valley in the South Pennines, the town of Todmorden is rich with opportunities for hosting events both indoors and outdoors. For instance, the Pennine Way is a short walk away along with other regional walking paths and the highest beach in England, sandy Gaddings Dam.
We offer inspiring outdoor locations and friendly characterful venues that are easily accessible by train or road from Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, Burnley and Blackburn. Our network includes caterers, facilitators, creatives, and a digital filming and online streaming provider.
We can even produce merchandise for your events using sustainable suppliers and circular economy principles.
We cater for smaller more convivial events for between 5 and 100 people where getting to know each other better is one of the reasons for the event.
We create convivial events in which the participants can strengthen their bonds and mutual understanding, and co-create solutions.
