I wanted to thank you and all involved yesterday for a superb event – carried off in trying circumstances! Initial feedback from our delegates has been overwhelmingly positive – a great success.
Please pass on our personal thanks to Fiona and Charlotte as well.
I would like to sincerely THANK YOU for all the efforts you put in so that the Event could still take place in Montreux! It was such a bad situation with all these airports closed, this amount of snow and you still MANAGE it so perfectly.
The outcome is that everyone here is so happy, and I still continue to receive numerous congratulations and happy returns on THAT specific day!
Everyone enjoyed painting and I am sure you noticed the screams of the participants when the big picture was unveiled…
And in the afternoon, the samba beatswork was greatly appreciated as well.
Again, A BIG THANK YOU and I do hope our paths will cross again in a not too distant future.

I don't want to give away too much but let's just say that the activities are innovative engaging and a lot of fun. Catalyst invests a lot and really goes all out in their events - it's what makes them unique. The idea that good teamwork equals success is not a new one, but Catalyst create an environment in which this theoretical knowledge becomes reality in a very short period of time.

Many, many thanks! What a day that was! Given the feedback we captured on video at the end of the show, it was certainly a show they will never forget. They loved it. It was such a big day for them in terms of realigning everyone to the new vision as a new and bigger team. BeatsWork demonstrated brilliantly what they are capable of and I think now they realise that there is no limit to what they can achieve. It is always a pleasure working with such a professional team and knowing that our objectives will be met.
On behalf of the RBS Group Credit Programme project team, we write to thank you for your support delivering the three highly successful events to date. We appreciate you having taken the time prior to the event to understand our objectives, discuss the design with us and for becoming part of our team working alongside other suppliers and ourselves. This approach enabled us to deliver a co-ordinated message and seamless delivery, resulting, as indicated, in a great success. We have received very positive feedback from both delegates and the Heads of Credit who attended all three events.
How The West Was Won proved to be a resounding success. The whole event (pre-sales/post-sales and the actual business game) were all handled in a friendly and professional manner. The game met our expectations and achieved the objectives that we set completely. We have had extremely enthusiastic and positive feedback from the participants.
‘Fifteen Famous Minutes’ it may have been but the memory will last forever for all concerned. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day, to the point that many have declared it the best conference yet (and there have been some memorable ones in the past to compete), but we appreciate that it was all due to the enthusiasm and professionalism of the Catalyst team that held the whole thing together.
The Oscar presentation was also excellently managed, for which you must take the credit, and it provided an excellent finale to the whole proceedings.
I wanted to thank you officially for organising such a wonderful day for us all. Without exception everyone had a wonderful time and agreed that it was a tremendous success. The sites were buzzing with embarrassing anecdotes for days afterwards!
We got off to a good start with T-Shirt Masterpiece. Quite literally everyone enjoyed themselves and became thoroughly engrossed in the days’ activities.
I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Catalyst to anyone wishing to develop and strengthen team spirit and would like to congratulate you on the level of professionalism we experienced throughout our day.
Our Group Managing Director was absolutely delighted with all the effort you put into our Directors’ Weekend as the main objectives were certainly achieved and I believe it even surpassed that of last year’s event!
Many of the Directors were a little apprehensive beforehand - mainly because they did not know what to expect - but from all the positive feedback I have received you were able to put them at ease very quickly and more importantly it was immensely enjoyed by all.
Catalyst were an obvious choice to assist at this year’s event due to your excellent organisation, efficient manner, creative ideas and above all the unfailing enthusiasm from both you and your staff. However, we did initially have some misgivings with using yourselves for the second year running as we wanted a complete change of emphasis but our worries proved to be unfounded as you achieved this with an outstanding creative approach.
Last Great Picture Show was an ideal and very enjoyable experience for our students (all 170 of them!) to gain experience in group dynamics and it will serve as a solid foundation for their future studies and work experience. It is a most effective example of activity learning. Once again, many thanks.
Having given you a clear brief, you went away and delivered a fun experience that will be talked about for some time. How The West Was Won delivered key messages in a professional but hugely fun and engaging way. The facilitator you provided was excellent at drawing out all the right messages and drawing business parallels. I was also very comfortable with your flexibility in being able to shape the game to meet my specific needs.

Thank you for a brilliant show opener – I am sure you recognised how delighted Deloitte was – I have certainly never seen a standing ovation from that audience before!

Thank you so much. You worked us hard but it was brilliant – are you coming back next time?!

Well, what a day that was! I don’t know about you but I spoke to a few of our people immediately after the morning briefing and I can honestly say their enthusiasm and response was absolutely... average.
Seeing and speaking to them at the end of the day, you would not have believed they were the same people!
They could not believe the things you expected them to do. After all, who in their right mind would ask a grandmother of two children to abseil a 60’ tower or expect six grown adults to stand on top of a post box and salute? Opposite a police station too!
My thanks to the team for putting together such a superb day in such a short time. What can we do to them next?!
I have had nothing but rave feedback from people about your event and about the fun that people had (and even some saucy comments about your uniforms!). The most frequent comment we’ve had is that it was the best away day ever - and that’s even coming from our partners who’ve a) been on hundreds of these days and b) regularly have them in Marbella or Nice! So it must have been something really quite special.
Once again - a huge thanks - you’ve made mine and Louisa’s career (although I fear we may now get asked to do it all over again!)
Thanks for a well organised and professional event. Everybody enjoyed it and the fact we managed to keep it a surprise meant it had even more impact. Will definitely recommend you!
Thank you so much for a great afternoon on Thursday. Kristof and I were very pleased with how the event turned out and it was a pleasure working with you and your team. Thank you for making it so much fun and for keeping the team informed throughout.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Catalyst and I'm very much looking forward to our next event. The event facilitator had all the natural qualities needed and worked well with the Graduates and Graduate Team on the day. Overall, it was a very smooth operation that met all our needs and was rated highly by the delegates.

I just wanted to say another huge thank you for your contribution to our recent leadership events. You have brought an incredible energy to each event that has been contagious and created a great atmosphere for the rest of the day. The feedback from each event has been phenomenal and I’m conscious that I end up bathing in your glory when all the praise is really for you and the team!
The experience of the Samba band itself is a hugely effective experience for a team build but the little nuggets that you add in around being engaged, wearing a smile, motivating and respecting each other are themes which resonate really well with the leadership development journey we’re on and are therefore incredibly powerful.
"What can I say. Excellent. The team wants to paint a Big Picture every week! The objectives of the activity really fit in with the objectives of our day. Very effective!"
"In my euphoria at getting the car to the finish line I forgot to track you down and thank you for a job well done yesterday. I was very pleased with how the day went and the interaction that took place, with many positive comments from staff. ‘Till next time."
"Team Torque was loved by our entire staff and very integral to our team development. I hope to plan another event with you soon!"
"It was an absolute pleasure to work with your Sales & Events team for our Chariot Challenge event!"
