Testimonials

Just some of the lovely things our customers have said about us:

• Global Finance Company - Group Communications Annual Conference

  "Thank you so much for yesterday. The Maelstrom was every bit as much fun as I thought it would be, and very well organised.   Everyone that I spoke to yesterday said that they really enjoyed it - a bit hard to get your head around the game board at first, but alot of fun, and a great way to get to know people better." 

  Maelstrom, Edinburgh, Dec 2009

• Manufacturing company

  "We had a fantastic time! Everything went to plan, I am so pleased that we proceeded with the Sumo activity as I think that this was the best part of the night! Moving between the rooms did not create a problem and between yourselves and the venue you ensured that everyone made their way to the second venue without any problem.   The way that it was organised was excellent - please pass on my thanks to your team. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the activities and commented on how good the entertainment staff were. Anyway, an epic occasion.  Our new teams from Liverpool & Leeds enjoyed it immensely.  There is clearly some hidden talent down there, and some not so hidden."

• BSkyB

  "Just to let you know, everything went brilliantly!  The costumes were fantastic, the props were amazing and our main room for dinner looked absolutely awesome!  Can you please pass our thanks on to Jonathan and his guys who were just brilliant setting everything up for us. The dry ice corridor was amazing and drew a few gasps when the doors were opened!" 

  Winter-Wonderland-themed-evening, Dunblane Hydro Hotel, Dec 2009

• RBS Mentor Services

  "We had high hopes & expectation for the event and these were certainly met."

  "We were very satisfied that the learning outcomes were reached due to the energy, teamwork & communication shown during the event, and this was backed up by feedback from the Team."

  "The Team really enjoyed the event and the relaxed & fun approach certainly helped the learning experience. Although some of the Team got frustrated on one of the activities in the early part of the afternoon this provided a learning opportunity helping them to see what poor teamwork delivers.
  
  Both Maggie & I certainly got what we wanted out of the day and your support helped make the day positive & enjoyable."

  Treasure Stride, Glasgow Science Centre, Nov 2009

• ACCA - IT Directorate away day

  "Sandy's support and input prior to the event was great - he certainly seems willing to go that extra mile - it was also great that he was one of the event team on the day. Nick was a great high energy input during the day itself."

  facilitated Kinetic Connections, Radisson Blu, Glasgow, Nov 2009

• Financial Services

  "Many thanks to you and your team for making the event so pleasurable.  I think we were all surprised at the energy and enthusiasm put into the tasks by the vast majority of people. I received many excellent verbal feedback from across the groups on the event and I hope their feedback was reflected in your 'Delighted' cards.   From a management point of view, I think the event tied in nicely with the themes for our conference and I think everyone will have noted some positive (and a few negative) behaviours in our people.  One thing was evident - the competitiveness. Once again, thank you and your team for all the hard work in putting on a great event."

  Maelstrom, Marriott Dalmahoy Hotel, Edinburgh, Nov 2009

• Forestry Commission - Information Services educational outing

  "I would like to thank you and your team for a fantastic day. It was very different from what we have done in previous years and it was very well organised. All of the staff were very good. The compere was excellent at keeping the event high energy."

  Eden and Maelstrom, Edinburgh International Climbing Arena (EICA), Oct 2009

• Who Cares? Scotland

  "Thank you for a great day, our staff thoroughly enjoyed their Strictly Dance session. Working in such close personal space with colleagues seemed to break down barriers. Everyone really got into the spirit of the day with people's personalities coming through and a bit of competitiveness just added to the fun of the mix. Since our session, every now and again the office rings with the sound of cha cha cha!!"

  Strictly Dance, Glasgow, Oct 2009

• Finance sector

  "Both Shoena and Mark stood out - Shoena was very honest with me when trying to find the correct event. Mark was very friendly and understanding of our requirements at the site we held the event."

  Kinetic Connections, London, Oct 2009

• NATS

  "Gavin is very experienced and confident with this type of teambuilding. He went to great lengths to ensure all the participants had the MBTI profile that best fitted to their style of working. He adapted the programme as he went along so that we got the best out of everyone, which was excellent."

  Graduate Development Programme, Chilworth Manor, Hampshire, Oct 2009

• Public sector conference

  "This is an official big THANK YOU to Bernie, Keith, Andy, Paul, Sarah, Anna and of course you for all your efforts with POP conference. I have recommended Maximillion as a really efficient event management company to my line manager who is organising similar events and I would be happy to recommend Bernie as a competent facilitator. I thought he came across very well and a colleague of mine rated him very highly for his role facilitating the Q&A panel. The Sound & Vision guys were very thorough and saved my skin with the DVD glitches. Sarah and Anna were helpful and cheerful which helped set the tone for the event from the moment delegates were greeted and I realise they worked some very long hours getting it all together.

  I was amazed at the amount of things that you put in place and dealt with without me having to ask and you managed the inevitable blips very calmly, professionally and kept a smile on your face throughout - well done!"

  Conference, Bolton, Sep 2009

• Baillie Gifford

  "The facilitator created a relaxed and fun environment which set up the day well.  The Kinetic Connections exercise explored all the aspects of team building and communication that we wanted to cover."
