The Sandstone Team Building Blog

So, for my first blog entry, where should I start? As an Event Assistant, Sandstone has provided me with great opportunities that would otherwise be hard to come by, so I’m going to talk about those.

Event Assistants here are people who are not full time (I’m one of our student team members but we have older folk too!) that are trained to handle specific jobs at the larger events. The variety of events that we run provide not only our clients, but the Sandstone team itself, with a wide choice ot things to get involved with. Notice I say “our clients” – we all feel very much part of the company. Sometimes I might be assigned to look after a small number of teams on the day, helping them with anything they need. Other times, I might be asked to run a specific part of the event – perhaps ‘Gold Panning’ in Wild West, ‘Cocktail Making’ (I am a student after all!) in Romanbar or ‘Walk the Plank’ in Cube.

The diversity is not limited to the range of activities either. Each individual event that is held is completely unique as we tailor them for client needs. This allows our team to get really involved in something fresh each time – just as the clients do.

This brings me back to some of the opportunities that I have experienced so far. I’ve found the best bit is getting to know the people attending the events. I’ve really enjoyed meeting – and having fun with – a wide range of clients. As we have members of the team all over the country, I’ve also got to know and work with other members of the team – and believe me when I say that they really are varied!

As someone who is a member of this team, I can safely say that Sandstone not only take great care of their clients, but also their team.
