How Hold the Front page Works

What are the rules of Hold the Front Page?

Teams create a newspaper front page to reflect aspects of your organisation. Props, Polaroid cameras and craft materials are provided, allowing everyone to get involved in this fun, business-relevant project.

Who is Hold the Front Page for?

Hold The Front Page is ideal for teams drawn from all levels of an organisation. It also works well for large conference groups with limited time and space.

How long does Hold The Front Page  last?

We can tailor Hold the Front Page to run for 25 to 75 minutes – or anything in between.

How do we tailor Hold the Front Page to our company?

To provide a business-relevant context, teams have to ‘fast forward into the future’ and create the front page of a newspaper a year from the date of the event. Each team’s headline story and features have to give a positive take on one of the organisation’s successes over the year.

The Lego Serious play event was a great hit with all of our Scotframe participants. Such a great way to get everyone involved and really work as a team.

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

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you and your team for organizing such a wonderful event. Everything was handled so thoughtfully and professionally. Scott was a great help on ground and client really appreciated the entire Highland games setup. Please share my gratitude with all the team members involved in Highland games. Thanks to you & Jenny for accommodating last minute requests and making sure it was delivered on time. Whenever we have an event in UK, we will make sure to contact you guys. Next time please try and meet us. Thanks from entire team Thomas Cook.

Massive thank you to Rhys & Mike for creating a professional and overall enjoyable experience for our team. Throughout the entire process they worked hard to ensure our values and needs were met on the day. The delivery of the events was incredibly well received and I can safely say I would be glad to book with Maximillion again.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at our Teambuilding afternoon hosted by Maximillion Events at our Ayrshire premises. This is now the 3rd time we have used their services and will definitely be looking to use them again next year. Such a lovely and professional group of people to deal with!! We had various games with a bespoke package set up for a group of staff members with varying degree of mobility. We did carpet curling (indoors), giant jenga, connect 4, darts, air hockey to name but a few all being done outside near to our foodhall and “refreshments” area. It was perfect, everyone had a blast and the Maximillion team were a joy to work with. Thorough, professional, safety conscious and lots of fun. They looked to enjoy themselves watching us and our very competitive natures shine through. Thank you again to all at Maximillion – you made our day that extra special.
