WiseUp Team Building prides itself on delivering team building activities that
engage participants. We encourage young people to develop new skills in a fun
environment. It is our belief that outdoor education should be accessible to
everybody. As a consequence, we are continually developing new methods of
delivery to guarantee that all participants’ needs are met. Who We Are Founded
in 2011 by Richard and Alexandra Wise, WiseUp Team Building is a mobile company.
We provide fun and educational activities all over the country by bringing the
equipment to participants. The company started with just one van going out and
delivering activity days. Now on our busiest days, we have up to nine teams out
all over the country. Richard and Alexandra have over 35 years combined
experience working in the outdoor education sector. Working both abroad and in
the UK gave this dynamic duo a vast amount of experience working with young
people. Additional years at both privately owned and government run
establishments meant running activity days for students of all different
backgrounds. Whilst working at a large multi activity centre, Richard and
Alexandra realised the demand for an outreach service. Chatting to teachers
highlighted that bringing young people off site was becoming difficult and
certainly more expensive. As a result, Richard and Alexandra founded WiseUp Team
Building. A fully mobile service offering the same activities run at outdoor
centres to schools across the UK. Running fun and challenging activity days on
school grounds significantly reduces the cost. Consequently, this means students
from lower income families who can’t usually afford traditional outdoor centre
visits can participate. By coming to you, WiseUp removes the complicated
planning involved taking pupils off site, which is always a good thing for
everyone. Most importantly, students in both Primary and Secondary schools are
able to access quality outdoor education. The Team A core operational team
support Richard and Alexandra with the logistics of managing WiseUp. Our
fantastic activities team uses their years of experience in the outdoor industry
to develop new and exciting products. WiseUp is all about innovation, not
imitation. Each year, we hire and train additional instructors to deliver our
activity days to the highest standard. Many of our Lead Instructors return each
season. As a result, it’s not surprising to see some familiar faces returning to
your school year after year. WiseUp just would not be complete without our
hardworking maintenance team. They spend hours during every season making sure
every piece of equipment is completely safe and beautifully painted. This
results in our kit coming to schools looking great. National Awards WiseUp Team
Building is often recognised for its achievements. Over the years, we have won a
number of awards. For example, in 2015 Richard and Alexandra won The Kent
Business Award. Previously Alexandra was listed as one of the top 30 under 30
entrepreneurs in Kent. The History A significant feature of a WiseUp Team
Building activity day is our distinctive vans. Consequently, the ever growing
fleet tells the story from our foundation in 2011 to the present day. Heading
