On 11 August, the LB Team headed to NEW FOREST ACTIVITIES for an action-packed team-building day — and what an amazing day it was! 🌲💪

From tactical Seek & Capture laser tag in the forest to races and impressive feats of balance on the beautiful Beaulieu River, there was plenty of fun, teamwork and laughter… although not everyone was quite as sure-footed! 😂

It was a fantastic opportunity to work alongside members of the LB family that we don’t get to interact with every day. All in all, it was a day filled with smiles, teamwork and a few tired, wet bodies! 💦😄

A huge thank you to New Forest Activities for a brilliant day! 🙌
