Team building with BITE Reviews

Very engaging and informative, we received excellent support and the team made us feel comfortable and we had a lot of fun too

It was the best team building day I have ever done. I loved the fact the activity had purpose and was for the benefit of animal conservation, a cause that everyone in our company believes in. It was also great that the team building activity had no competitive element between teams which was a significantly more bonding experience than when we are pitted against each other (it doesn't bring out the best in everyone). In some cases it pushed people outside of their comfort zone but in a supported way, no-one felt foolish, and in fact enabled the more experienced/skilled members of the team to share their knowledge. It allowed everyone to shine in their different ways. The team delivering the event were all friendly, helpful and fun to work with. The whole experience was extremely fulfilling and enjoyable.

Our team had an amazing experience with the BITE team. When we first entered the room and saw power tools, saws, chains, etc. laid out on all the tables, many of us felt quite apprehensive about what we were going to be asked to achieve. When asked who had used a drill before, the majority of the team hadn’t, which didn’t fill us with confidence! We were shown a 3D image of the item we were expected to make, which was both helpful and initially a little intimidating. However, the BITE team are brilliant at encouraging you to step outside of your comfort zone and take on tasks you’ve never done before. As soon as we split into our teams, everyone got stuck in, and it was amazing to see people using the tools and growing in confidence throughout the session. The activity was extremely rewarding—we gained new skills, had the opportunity to support each other and share knowledge, and knew that we were making a positive impact on giraffe welfare. The BITE team were also very informative about how the item would support the giraffes in performing natural behaviours and serve as a long-lasting enrichment tool for the keepers to use for years to come. The next day, I received lots of positive feedback from the team, with many saying they were still “buzzing” from the experience. The BITE team delivered exactly what I was looking for—thank you!

We had a great day helping to building a new bird display area with new pulley poles, nesting and feeding areas, along with rotating display/perching areas at Woburn Safari Park. Everything was carried out safely and all the trainers were excellent - offering clear direction, practical tips and support whenever we needed it during the day. In all, it was an enjoyable and worthwhile experience for the entire team. Highly recommended!

Everyone on the event really enjoyed it and said it was one of the best team building activities we have done in the last few years, they loved the challenge, how it was well organised and there was enough for everyone to do in the groups without anyone being left out. Even better that we have been able to see the feeders we made in use at YWP and in other zoo's as well.

It was such a great experience and team building event! The instructions were clear and the BITE team super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend - thank you!

Mark and Chris were excellent and ran a really fun and engaging team building day. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great day helping to build the otter resting area at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. It was an excellent opportunity not only to support the park but also to strengthen team relationships. All activities were carried out safely, and both trainers were fantastic—providing clear guidance, offering helpful advice, and supporting us with any issues we encountered throughout the day. Overall, it was a very positive and rewarding experience for the whole team.

Mark and the team at Bite provided an outstanding experience for our team away day. He took the time to understand our company objectives for the day and thoughtfully incorporated them into our activity. The whole event was exceptionally well organised planned and clearly briefed into our team. Our objectives were met at a high level and the day was genuinely engaging and FUN! Being able to stand back at the end of the day and see everything we had achieved together as a team, while also giving something back to the Wildlife Park was incredibly rewarding. It ticked all our boxes in terms of business purpose, team enrichment and CSR. Truly excellent and would highly, highly recommend.

A fantastic morning with the team building a feeding table for the Meerkats. Mark and the team were extremely helpful and provided everything we needed. It was very uplifting and we enjoyed seeing the table being used by its new owners.
