Indoor Events

We all love the great outdoors. But you can also fire up your team while staying warm and dry.

Whether it’s making chocolates, solving puzzles or taking on an indoor Highland games, we’ll help you boost morale and bond — whatever the weather.

Outdoor Events

Blast away those cobwebs with a dose of fresh-air fun. The great outdoors is where it all began for us, and we’ve built up a wealth of challenging activities to take your team to their limits.

From searches to survival, we’ll get your people out of the office to bring out their best.

Evening Events

Want a work night out with a difference? Let us help you out.

From mixing your own cocktails to blazing away as a band to solving a murder mystery — whatever you choose, we’ll make sure you have an evening to remember.

Virtual & Hybrid Team Building

Sometimes it’s hard to get the whole team together. But we’ve developed a suite of virtual and hybrid events to help you over the geographical hurdles.

Our virtual activities will get your team on the same page and in the same room — even when they’re oceans apart. Or we can put together a team-building experience that offers you the best of both worlds — a hybrid of in-person and remote.

Treasure Hunt Team Building

GPS Treasure Hunts energise teams, promote exploration, and deliver tailored, unforgettable experiences. Suitable for urban or rural venues, teams use iPads and award-winning tech to tackle tasks requiring creativity and problem-solving. Customizable content enhances engagement with corporate branding, company values, and fun challenges.

What’s on the radar right now? Here are some of the eye-catching events we’ve got on the go.

Sarah and her team have proved invaluable to the organisation of our flagship event held in London. We partner with leading physicians from across the world to bring the latest thinking in cardiology to the participants, who come from many countries. This requires a team that operates to a high standard and can offer an experience that all involved remember. A foundation of this is the attention to detail, and a drive to get it right – mostly hidden from all when working well, but very obvious if not done. I have no hesitation to recommend Sarah and her team if you have an event you wish to deliver a the highest standards. The Optima team sends all our thanks to them.

Working with Maxmillion events for the Traitor’s themed evening at Prestonfield House was a great experience. Jenny and her team were a delight to work with, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan immersive events.

The PC Agency

Jenny takes the time to understand our vision and goals for each event and consistently exceeded our expectations through close partnership and honest, transparent communications. Building a partnership that has become an extension of our core in-house team has resulted in innovative ideas, handling challenges with ease, and seamless event delivery from the whole team.

I could not be happier with how the event was organised in the months preceding the event and how it was managed on the days. Sarah and her team were both efficient and delightful to work with. I also had positive feedback from my co-host colleagues and a large number of delegates. I am in fact already in dealings with Maximillion again, in preparation of a new international meeting. I highly recommend Maximillion and Sarah Esslemont for leading and organising meeting.

Mr Nicola de Liguori Carino, MD

The InterGen Summer Event 2024 was an unforgettable day! This could not have happened if it was not for the brilliant team at Maximillion. Their attention to detail, organisation skills and fantastic hosting/MC’ing on the day of the event was brilliant. Massive thank you for making our team building event the highlight of 2024.

Intergen

Thanks so much for all your help! The client was very happy. The planning stages were smooth and Rhys and the onsite team were wonderful too. We would recommend! Thank you

Conference Contacts

Thank you to Mike, Ross and Sandy from Maximillion for the team building in the afternoon, murder mystery that evening, Belbin Team Roles next morning, a fantastic team building session in the afternoon and, finally, a great barbecue that evening provided by Norton House. Although some of us were a bit slow of the mark the second day, the same positive attitude and enthusiasm from day one prevailed and I think we all got something out of it. It was clear to me that everyone was communicating and working together better by the end of the afternoon.

Working with Maximillion has been an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience for our organisation. Over the course of our 5-year collaboration they have expertly delivered a range of online and in-person events for us, including large-scale conferences and stand builds, internal staff gatherings, and engaging team away days. Their attention to detail, creativity, and seamless execution were evident in every event they organised for us. Whether managing the logistics of a high-profile conference or crafting memorable team-building experiences during away days, their professionalism and dedication shone through.

Sarah once again it has been such a pleasure to work with you. As ever, the professionalism and commitment to excellence which you and your (fantastic) team bring to our events has been extraordinary. We are all so grateful. Your own personal leadership, experience and organizational ‘knowhow’ is reflected in everything which your team does. Please do pass on my sincerest thanks to Sophie and Graham who were so good in the lead up and on the ground. I have handed over the Presidency of BSGAR to Raneem Albazaz, and I feel confident that BSGAR is in good hands with her, and that she is in good hands with you. Our BSGAR family is fantastic, and it is fantastic to have you with us.

Maximillion provided our group with an incredible Scotland experience. We were in town from America for a small wedding at Dundas Castle. Our group RAVED about the events hosted by Maximillion. They said it made them feel (in a short visit) like they had the opportunity to get a real taste of Scottish culture. The planning, implementation and follow-up with the entire staff was seamless and easy. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I can’t think of one thing you could have done better for our group. Thank you so much for everything!
