Amsterdam Q2 – July 2023

July 26, 2023

Each quarter, we like to reward our top performers. These are people who buy into our ‘Why’, continuously hit their KPI’s and are self-managing their own performance and growth. They might be people who have been in the business for a while or someone who has just joined the team and are at the start of recruitment journey.

We like to do something special, whether it’s a spa day or an activity followed by a fine dining meal experience and of course, a cocktail or two.

We wanted to do something a bit different this time and put our office manager’s organisation skills to the test, so it was decided by our MD that a full-on day in Amsterdam would be a cracking idea.

So, with a flight booked for 6 am, it was a 4 am kick-off from the office – a big thank you to Tony & Ellis for being our taxi service to Heathrow! Touch down on Dutch soil, we arrived in Amsterdam! no time for dropping our stuff at the hotel, we were on our way to the Heineken Museum. 

So, you may think a visit to a museum in Amsterdam is the last thing you would want to do. We disagree and can completely recommend the Heineken Museum VIP Tour – even if you aren’t a massive lager lover, you get the history, how they make it, then get to drink quite a bit of it – what’s not to like?

Luminair gives you a superb view of the city, we’d like to say that we took loads of photos of the view, but… we were too busy eating oysters and drinking cocktails!

The rest of the trip is a little hazy, there were quite a few bars involved to say the least! We did eventually get to the hotel to crash for a couple of hours, then it was a dash to the airport Saturday morning, a super quick flight home and a few sore heads!

It was a brilliant trip, a lovely change to go to another country. We’re so proud of our team and the achievements they make each quarter. If you want to join us and be part of something special, get in touch!
