At Wealth Matters, we work very hard to make sure that our clients are receiving the best service and advice possible. But in amongst that hard work, we make sure that we also find time to have some fun and thank our staff for their dedication and commitment.

This is the premise of our Company Days Out. We hold these once a year, and they’re a fantastic way for us to bond as a team and spend some quality time together outside of the office doing something fun.

Last Friday was our latest CDO. This time, we all got the train into London to spend the afternoon at Monopoly Lifesized. This is exactly what it sounds like – a life-sized, escape room style of Monopoly. We split into four teams – Prison Breakers, Winning Matters, Chrisbruces, and Wraps Confident – and solved puzzles and challenges to try to earn as much Monopoly money as we could against the other teams. We can be a competitive bunch, and it was a lively game, but Prison Breakers (made up of Chantelle, Thusha, and Kate) came out on top with M3,175,000.

We then went out for lunch at the Fitrovia Pub and spent the afternoon socialising over a few drinks. Most of the team headed back to Luton around dinner time, but some went on to a karaoke night at Boom Battle Bar.

Our Company Days Out are a highlight in the calendar, and they really help to re-energise us ahead of what we know to be busy seasons at the office. Our team is definitely all the stronger for it.
