CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

We were very happy with the service we received from Outstanding Events. It was extremely professional and school friendly. The students thoroughly enjoyed the day and we will definitely be using them again in the future.

Chloe Llewellyn - Priestnall School

I would like to say on behalf of the school a big thank you to you and your crew.
The pupils had a fantastic day and enjoyed all the activities. The curriculum enrichment day gave them both physical and mental challenges which stretched their skills and most of all allowed them to have fun whilst doing it.

Phil Bradford - Head of Physical Education and Key Stage 3 - Hulme Hall Grammar School

All participants enjoyed the day and the activities really brought our staff and governors together.
We were all challenged and the whole day just flew by.

Suzi Whiting - Deputy Head Teacher - Peakirk-cum-Glinton Primary School

This is the second time that we have used The Outstanding Events Company to provide activities during our Sports Week and it was equally as successful as last year.
The children loved taking part in archery, aeroball, giant puzzles and especially going on the climbing wall.
It was great to see them all learning new skills and experiencing something different.
We also really appreciated the opportunities you provided for our younger children and their families to take part in activities together after school. It was a really great community event.
Your team worked hard to make all the activities safe and fun. Thank you for helping to make our Sports Week a success.

Jayne Mullane - Headteacher - Merseyvale Primary School

Many thanks for the great fun our children had on Sunday.
120 girls had a great time playing Giant Operation and the Human Buzzwire. From first enquiry to the actual event, the booking process has been easy and efficient.
On the day the professionalism of your staff made for a fun packed day.
Many thanks for helping to make our Centenary Celebrations "outstanding" for our Rainbows.

Sarah Floyd - Itchen Valley Rainbows

Outstanding Events provided a climbing wall and aeroball for our Centenary camp.
We were offered sound advice, realistic prices and good communication, not to mention a comprehensive risk assessment before the event.
On the day, the equipment arrived on time and was set up with the minimum of fuss and with due consideration to safety.
Our guides were well supervised and encouraged to achieve. They obviously enjoyed their experience and are asking when we can do it all again.
I would not hesitate to use Outstanding Events at a future event.

Eleanor Bird - Camp Co-ordinator - Girlguiding Rugby Division

Thanks to Adam and Gemma from Outstanding Events for coming along to our camp.
They helped make the day a great success with the Wii, X-Blaster, Giant Operation and Human Buzz Wire.
The whole process from enquiry to booking to the event was very smooth and everyone we had contact with was very helpful.
We will definitely be in touch again to book more activities.
Thanks again.

Pauline Wilson - Hampshire Girl Guiding

The motivated and patient instructors from Outstanding Events really made a difference for our pupils who attended the climbing workshops here at Copland School.
By the end of the workshops, our pupils had significantly improved their climbing skills due to a combination of positive encouragement and varied climbing challenges and games. Their self confidence and self esteem benefited too. I would certainly recommend Outstanding Events to other schools and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Phil Warner - Copland School - Wembley.

Thank you for all your help during your visit to our school.
The climbing wall and the archery were one of the highlights of our Sports Week at Hampton Hargate Primary. The Year 5 children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to try their hand at archery and the year 6 pupils were absolutely delighted to be chosen to climb the climbing wall.
The coaching and encouragement on both activities were first class and it's a credit to you in particular that so many children reached the top of the wall.
I will have no hesitation in inviting you back next year for your third annual visit! Thank you again from all the staff and more importantly the children.

Duncan Milner - Hampton Hargate Primary School

Thanks again for all your help on Friday, the climbing wall was the event that the students enjoyed the most and your calm caring personality allowed them to trust you which they do not give easily.
I am hoping to get the funding to do this event every year and it would be great if you could be a part of that.

Jen Christensen - Little Heath School

"I wouldn't have believed it until I'd seen it myself- our Y2 pupils scurrying up the climbing wall like little versions of Spiderman!
This level of gusto lasted for 2 whole days as a wonderful range of exciting and challenging activities were offered to children from Y1 to Y6; the school positively 'buzzed' with both children and adults keen to share achievements and new experiences.
The professionalism of the Outstanding Events Team lent confidence to the children and teachers- safety was paramount and explained in child friendly terms but pleasure was guaranteed and celebrated whatever the individual level of success was.
A great couple of days which we are keen to repeat."

Judith Arnold - Deputy Headteacher - Newborough C of E Primary

Having Outstanding Events at Saxon Youth Club attracted new members and created an enjoyable atmosphere.
Both events were set up efficiently and staff were helpful and young people friendly!
Thank you for the professional service you provided us with, we will definitely love to have you back again in the future!

Sukaina Ladak - Peterborough Young People's Service.

We invited Rob and his team in to run a big games session as part of our 'Day 1', a learning to learn day for all students, designed to re-focus them on creative approaches to learning and personal learning and thinking skills following the lengthy Summer break.
Amongst a variety of other activities, our Y8 and Y9 students took part in a big games workshop.
The students were immediately engaged and worked furiously to gain team points.
Through teamwork, lateral thinking skills and communication they succeeded in solving some very problematic puzzles.
For teachers getting involved and supporting the students, it was an opportunity to build and re-establish relationships in a fun and vibrant learning environment.
Great way to set the tone for the year!

G. Lawson-Frost - Director of Arts College - Deben High School

What a great way to instil teamwork and encourage co-operation!

Gail Suttie - PSHE Co-ordinator - Newborough C of E Primary

I would like to thank the two guys who manned the climbing wall for our District Centenary Camp in July.
We had over 200 young people use the mobile climbing wall over the weekend and all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Your team were a credit to the organisation and had enough patience to deal with the least experienced climbers.
Once again, thank you.

Rob Redfern - Explorer Scout Leader - Leighton-Linslade District

Just a quick note the say thank you for the excellent and professional service you provided at Markyate School on Bank Holiday Monday.
The fact that the climbing wall was busy the whole time, and you always had a queue, speaks volumes for the popularity of this piece of equipment.
It was invaluable in attracting people to my stand. Your staff were excellent with the young people.
Thank you

Paul Sands - Extended Schools Co-ordinator

Thank you for coming to our event.
We felt that the Climbing Wall was the highlight of our event and it was good to see young people participating. I especially liked seeing young people trying to climb unsuccessfully but then trying again until they could do it.
We estimate that at least 200 students went up the wall which is very good value for money. Outstanding Events were very professional, had a good rapport with people who were climbing the wall and were very patient.
It did not take long for the wall to be set up and it did not take up much space.
The feedback from students and staff was excellent. Everyone enjoyed it and had a real sense of achievement when they got to the top.
We linked the wall with the Aim Higher Project which was a good link as we encourage students to progress on to higher courses and reach their full potential.

Thank you for a fantastic day and we would very much recommend you to anyone else who is thinking of having an activity like this.

Sharon Clarke - Disability Advisor - Canterbury College

Throughout the working relationship, the level of professionalism shown by Outstanding Events could not have been higher!
From start to finish Rob and the team provided a quality service with a variety of activities which ranged widely in their appeal. This was essential given the nature of the sessions we were delivering, providing activities for children as young as 5 to young people in their late teens.
It was evident that every member of the team had been recruited to a high standard which gave our staff the freedom to concentrate on developing relationships with young people and enjoying the experience ourselves!
Of all the activities that were available through Outstanding Events it was evident that with younger children the most popular was the Mobile Climbing Wall.
However it was clear that the great success amongst the older generations was the Nintendo Wii.
Due to the variety of games and highly interactive nature, the Wii provided an opportunity for positive interaction between the different age groups, and also between adults and young people.

Andy Scholfield - Connextions Young Peoples Service Peterborough - Central Locality

Thank you for your part in the success of our recent Rock Festival.
The rock climbing wall was a great attraction, and the service you provided was excellent: prompt and efficient booking arrangements; detailed documentary info including risk management; and friendly, professional service on the day.

Rosie Edwards - Stibbington Field Studies Centre

Thank you so much for helping to make our Sport Week a great success.
The children thoroughly enjoyed both the archery and the climbing wall and have not stopped talking about it since you left!
Several children have enquired about taking up archery in their spare time!
Thank you for making both activities safe and fun.
Year 5 really appreciated you staying longer to work with them as hail and rain delayed archery during the day.
We hope to work with you again in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending you to other schools. Thank you.

Andy Dearlove - Hampton Hargate Primary School

Thank you for starting our new term off in such an exciting and positive way. We all thoroughly enjoyed the activities and benefited from the teamwork aspect of them all.
The range of puzzles you provided was far greater than I had expected, giving the teams a wide choice and plenty of challenge.
We had a lot of fun whilst being trained to 'think outside the box' and really develop our teamwork.
The morning was very well organised with everything being set up in plenty of time. The members of your company were polite and enthusiastic about their work.
We are looking forward to working with you again and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any other school for training purposes.

Hilary Davis - Newborough C.E. School

Having used the Outstanding Events climbing wall at 2 community events recently I found it to be extremely well managed and a fantastic experience for young people. It formed the focal point of our events and was extremely popular with young people of all ages.

Denham Hughes - Senior Practitioner Young People's Service - Peterborough City Council

The Rock Climbing day was wonderful everyone who was involved sang your praises and commented on how the students enjoyed the day. Sandon School and myself would have no hesitation in recommending yourself and your company. It was a fantastic experience for the pupils very well managed with every consideration for the pupils safety and well being. Some pupils still mention the day and say what a marvelous time they had and some of the 6th form have asked when you are coming back again. It would be brilliant if we were able to organize another visit next academic year finance permitting. Please find attached a few photos of the pupils having a great time. Once again many thanks

Lynda Chambers - Sandon School

Thank you so much for all of your hard work and preparation which made the activity day go without a hitch. All of the children had a fantastic time and are already talking about the activities they would like to do next time you visit - the climbing wall and aeroball being top of the list! The staff at school thoroughly enjoyed themselves too, and loved the fact that they could join in the activities and not miss out on the fun. It was so easy to organize and to have all of the risk assessments done for us meant we could relax and look forward to your arrival. We will definitely be booking you again soon and would highly recommend you to any other school that is looking for a fun filled day of challenges and activities were staff and pupils can achieve together and have fun! Thanks again

Bev Pickett-Jones - Deputy Head - Welldon Park Middle School

The Climbing Wall was an excellent feature during our week of action! Both the children and young people enjoyed having ago and they are already asking me and the other staff when you'll be returning. A big thank you to your staff who managed the facility wonderfully and had a real good time with the children, it was a brilliant afternoon all round. Perhaps the staff can sneak a go next time…… Thanks again Rob, I'm sure we'll work together again.

Louise McAvoy - Neighbourhood Development Worker - Peterborough City Council

"I wanted to get in touch after the National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships 2008 (NJIRC2008) and thank you for everything. From the first phone call to the event itself - I have been impressed by your professionalism and enthusiasm for our event. We held the event in the middle of London and were let down at the last minute by our regular supplier. Outstanding Events not only stepped into the breach very quickly but did so with good humour, a great discount to help us out and supplied full and comprehensive information that we needed for Safety reasons immediately when asked. We will definitely use them again and would recommend them to other organizations without a second thought. Thank you again"

Matt Rostron - Programme Director - NJIRC

Many thanks for your help and support on Sunday at the 'Louis Smith Event'. Your attendance was very much appreciated and enjoyed by a lot of the youngsters. Thank you.

Dianne Parkin - Secretary - Eye Community Association

We would like to thank Outstanding Events for helping organize a brilliant team day. The support and delivery was excellent, and helped us achieve our objectives, Throughout the preparation, the support and guidance was extremely professional, and the team games well thought out. The logistics and organization was top notch. Rob and his team provided 100%+ service, and I would not hesitate using them again. Well done guys.

Stephen Burgess - HSBC

Just to let you know that Dan is a credit to your company! Louise the event manager said that he was very professional and a pleasure to work with. All went well and the centre were very pleased.

Katie Coombs - Director - Maynineteen Ltd

Did exactly what it says on the tin… An Outstanding service from Outstanding Events

Alex Ginever - Events Manager, Loughborough Students Union.

Many thanks for your recent visit to our school to provide the now annual activities to our year 8 students. Your staff organized the activities well, as usual, and were again sympathetic to the individual needs and abilities of the students in their groups. Everything was conducted in a safe manner with the students enjoying all the activities and making significant progress in learning new skills whilst having great fun.

John Moore - Head of PE - Bishops Stopford School

"The Human Buzz Wire which was supplied to us from Outstanding Events was a hoot! We had queues all day at our Summer Party. The game (and the canopy!) was lovely and clean, the staff very pleasant and presentable and liasing with Outstanding Events in the planning was a joy.

Sandra Ewart - VScreative Ltd"

"For the second year running Beyond Boundaries Live used the services of Outstanding Events to provide a Rock Climbing Wall as a feature of the show giving disabled and able bodied visitors a chance to 'reach the summit'. The outlook, competency and demeanor of the crew reflected the shows 'can do' attitude and seeing the elation on a climbers face when they reached the summit and hit the buzzer was a site to behold. We look forward to working with Outstanding Events again and really appreciate their professionalism as it made my job a great deal easier on site.

Dan Edwards - Operations Manager - Zinc Events"

Many thanks for your support with the team development event - I think the exercise that you brought was very appropriate for this group of people. I also thought it was well resourced and effectively delivered. It certainly had a good balance between being fun to do and making some very valid learning points which is exactly what was required. Initial feedback from the delegates is positive and I hope we will be able to work together on similar projects in the future.

Bob Thacker - Experiental Learning Partnerships Ltd

Outstanding Events lived up to their name at our recent event held at the NEC. During set-up no problem was too big (and believe me when I say that we couldn't have challenged them any more than we did!). Their presence at the event enabled everything to run smoothly and helped RoSPA meet its objectives. I would recommend Outstanding Events to anyone considering a climbing wall as part of their event activity. We look forward to working again with them on future projects.

Diane Preece - Events & Marketing Services Manager - The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents

Just writing to say what a pleasure it was to work with you at the Mobility Roadshow Scotland last week. The climbing wall was an excellent feature for the show and quite clearly made a lot of people very happy! Many of our visitors thought they would never be able to manage such a feat and their obvious joy at the whole experience was a treat not just for them, but also for us as organizers as well. We were all so impressed with your sensitive handling of the needs of our particular audience, and it was fantastic to have such a totally inclusive feature at the event which meant that mums, dads, brothers, sisters and friends could all enjoy the experience, whatever their ability. I very much look forward to working with you again at Stoneleigh Park next month and at future events. Thanks again and kind regards,

Jacqui Jones - Director of Projects & Events - Mobility Choice

Thank you very much once again for bringing the climbing wall over yesterday. I have never enjoyed a children's party so much. Adam and Ben both loved it and their friend Max was very proud of himself for having conquered his fear. Hope to do another event with you again. Best regards

Maggie Fletcher - Private Party
