Fostering Creativity and Unity: Crafting the In-house Research Coat of Arms
Following a company update by CEO Tom Weston, everyone was given the opportunity to showcase their artistic talents and teamwork by creating a unique Coat of Arms that embodied the company's core values - "Evolve & Innovate," "Have Pride, Be Passionate," and "Build Strong Relationships."
Everyone split into teams, each tasked with the challenge of designing a Coat of Arms that would capture the essence of In-house Research's core values. Armed with paper, markers, stickers, glitter and a shared passion for creativity, the teams set to work, brainstorming ideas and sketching their visions of what the perfect Coat of Arms would look like.
After a quick 30 minutes, the teams proudly presented their Coat of Arms designs to Tom and Craig Weston, the esteemed company owners, and directors. The room was abuzz with excitement as each team shared the stories behind their creations.
With all the designs displayed for consideration, Tom and Craig Weston had the challenging task of selecting a winner.
Coming Together Through Music - Samba Band Workshop
Once the creative materials had been put away, everyone was surprised by an electrifying Samba band workshop, where employees immersed themselves in the vibrant beats and rhythms of Brazil. Led by a professional musician, provided by ACF Events, the team learned to play various traditional Samba instruments, such as tambourines, drums, and shakers. Within moments everyone transformed into a lively and harmonious ensemble, showcasing their newfound musical talents.
