“So what happens to all this carpet now?” I asked a stand fitter at Manchester Central. “It gets thrown away, I think.” He said back, as he packed away. “Can I take it?” I asked, “Go for your life mate”. If you’ve ever been behind the scenes of a large exhibition, it’s quite something to […]

The past can inspire the future.
I’ve never been one for nostalgia and looking to the past. The idea that your best days were 20 years ago seems so strange to me. But like you, I’ve had more time on my hands over the last couple of months. As the events industry started to close in February due to COVID-19, 45 […]
A branded pen. How original!
You’ll have some on your desk right now. You won’t remember where you got it or won’t have any idea what that company does. It could be even worse, the branded cap! It doesn’t fit, was made a by a 7-year-old Vietnamese girl and has some app company logo on the front, that has already […]

Play is perceived as unproductive, or even a guilty pleasure. The notion is that once we reach adulthood, it’s […]
10 seconds can tell you a lot about your staff
Please take just 10 seconds to watch this video and let us tell you a story. Ok she didn’t make the putt. We’ve got a ton of videos where there is a close miss and the similar ‘ohhhh’ reaction, but there’s a story to this group. Developing a team and integrating a new member of […]
Test tubes and mini golf – conference engagement at The Scientific Lab Show
We were delighted to be involved with the Scientific Lab Show in Nottingham. Held by Scientific Lab Supplies. To the outsider, test tubes and mini golf might not be the perfect match (rigorous risk assessment needed!). However, similar to awards nights, our custom courses bringing a high level of engagement to a wide audience (over […]
How Putting Edge Started
I often get asked how Putting Edge started, so the start of our story… Another dreary team building session on an INSET day. Another meeting where I didn’t get to speak to who I wanted to. Another situation seeing groups of friends who would rather scroll down through their phone than actually engage with each […]
