Testimonials

“Following a successful team build for our 50 strong department I can recommend Call of the Wild for their professional approach and excellent organisational skills. Here at Orange, we recognise the value of team building exercises for our employees and Call of the Wild did not disappoint.”Bob Gibney, Orange Mobile Phones

“We’re a fast- growing business which places a high value on our staff and we want to reward and develop them as much as possible. Call of the Wild provide us with superb packages that are tailored to meet our exact objectives.”John Bridgen, Orbis Technologies

"This was a powerful opportunity to bring our team together in a meaningful and memorable way. Our group, made up of colleagues from across the UK, infrequently gets time together outside of a meeting room or Teams call. From the start, Call of the Wild created a space that allowed us to build trust and open up genuine channels of communication. The morning session challenged us to think differently in how we rely on one another, and the afternoon walk to the breathtaking Henryd Falls was a true highlight — combining reflection, connection, and the sheer beauty of the Bannau Brycheiniog. It was an experience that will stay with us far beyond the day itself."

Matt Blake, VP of Strategic Planning at LexisNexis Risk Solutions, June 2025
