On Tuesday 8th October, the Reach Food Group UAE team held their annual teambuilding event, joined this year by some of our EU leaders. The event is part of our ongoing commitment to foster collaboration and unity within and across our international teams. Whilst we might have multiple offices across Europe and the Middle East, we are one family. This year, the activities were designed to encourage teamwork, creative problem-solving, and a shared sense of purpose.
The event started with a series of physical challenges, where attendees were split into teams and rotated through a series of challenge stations featuring hoopla, archery, and mini golf. These friendly competitions encouraged teams to rely on each other’s strengths and communicate effectively under pressure, skills that are just as essential in a professional setting.
After lunch, the focus shifted to a more symbolic challenge: teams were asked to build and decorate pyramids. Each side of the pyramid represented one of Reach Food Group’s core principles. The exercise highlighted how individual contributions come together to form a unified vision. The decoration process underscored the idea that every team member plays a crucial role in shaping the company’s success (and gave everyone the chance to get their hands dirty!)
The event was not only a fun break from the usual workday but also a meaningful reminder of the strength that comes from teamwork and a shared vision.
