Timmon Whitehead, Founder of White Rhino Event Solutions, offers advice to companies in the current economic climate

Despite all the cut backs in business expenditure during the recession, numerous companies are still investing in team-building and corporate hospitality for staff and clients. Whilst some business services have hit a wall, White Rhino Event Solutions maintains success and offers a wide choice of corporate hospitality events and team-building sessions.

White Rhino Event Solutions, established from Landmark Transitions, was set up in 2008 by Timmon Whitehead, ex-Logistics Officer for the Royal Air Force. With a background in an intense environment where solidarity and cooperation are vital, Timmon realises the importance of having a strong team that can work together.

“Working with others in the RAF made me realise that you can have any skill-set in the world, but if you can’t communicate this skill to anyone, it’s useless” said Timmon Whitehead, Founder of White Rhino Event Solutions. “Spending time with work colleagues and clients away from work tasks and deadlines is when you can discover how to actually work together.”

By consulting with its clients, White Rhino ensures that the team-building session chosen suits its requirement, and is tailored to the client’s conditions. With a range of sessions that last from one hour to an entire day, White Rhino’s team-building sessions are also popular as annual treats for staff members or Christmas celebrations for departments.  White Rhino offers a wide variety of team-building sessions suited to a range of budgets, preferences, locations and time limitations. This flexibility allows companies to continue to look after their staff, despite possible financial struggle.

“The recession has hit a lot of companies really hard,” said Timmon Whitehead, Founder of White Rhino Event Solutions. “After redundancies and re-structuring, the staff members need to be encouraged to work at their best, and to feel comfortable working in their new team, which is where team-building sessions really add value. An investment in staff is the best way to maintain growth in business, and maintaining client relationships through hospitality creates business opportunities.”

White Rhino Event Solutions has worked with a range of different businesses to improve their internal and external communication. Recently working for Costa Coffee, the high-street coffee shop company, White Rhino hosted its popular ‘The Chocolatier’ session, giving Costa Coffee staff the opportunity to make their own brand of chocolates, before presenting their finished product to a panel of judges.

A leading international pharmaceutical company also carried out the ‘The Chocolatier’ session and combined it with the ‘Ice Art’ session. The ‘Ice Art’ session involves sculpting ice in teams in an allotted time scale.

As an official agent for Royal Ascot, White Rhino also offers a variety of hospitality opportunities, allowing companies to maintain client relationships to help build business. White Rhino Event Solutions provides hospitality to parties as small as two and offers shared, private and exclusive facilities to its customers at a range of sporting events, including Horse Racing, Motorsport, Golf, Polo, Rowing and Tennis.
