How Pole Position works

What are the rules of Pole Position?

Pole Position challenges teams to design, build and brand pedal-powered vehicle, which they then use in a series of qualifying races before a head-to-head final to win the Grand Prix.

Who is Pole Position for?

Pole Position is the perfect outdoor team-building activity for a staff summer event or company away-day. With a range of creative, cerebral and physical challenges, it offers something for everyone.

How long does Pole Position last?

Pole Position takes two to three hours.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the fantastic murder mystery and DJ services the Maximillion team provided at our recent Renewables UK Seminar at Cameron House Hotel. It was an evening filled with excitement and entertainment, and Maximillion played a pivotal role in making it a memorable experience for all of us.

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

The general comment today in the office is how amazing the event was and how much fun people had.

University of Edinburgh

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.

Thenue Housing Association

Everyone I met was so helpful, reassuring and knowledgeable. The event was run seamlessly and the team made everyone relaxed which encouraged everyone to participate fully. Team building can so often be an uncomfortable day away from the office, but Maximillion just made it so much fun. I had heard good things about you all through the previous work you have done for us but it was great to see that first hand. It was such a pleasure to work with you and we are all already looking forward to the next one!

The Phoenix Group

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.

As always, seamless operations of the event. Very flexible working with you guys. Guests were delighted. Everything went super well. Well done Mike and Rhys!

Horizons – TPG Scotland

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.

Vicki Sharpe, Head of Marketing

Like many other professional service providers, we are often metaphorically ‘spinning plates’ and ‘juggling’ competing priorities, so it was great for our team to try these challenges in real life. We discovered hidden talents and it reinforced that working as a team and providing a supportive learning environment are key to delivering an excellent result. Thank you to Maximillion for your support and encouragement during this fun event, as well as for your professionalism in pulling together a slick activity for 220 people.

University of Edinburgh

Lee Hamill, Director of Finance

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.
