Chosen Because of Selection of Winton Activities and Most Reasonably Valued
Cloudsoft headed to Winton Castle in East Lothian during June for a team reunion and away day for 55 of its employees.
The visitors arranged transfers from Edinburgh city centre for the bulk of the attendees, but a hardy group decided to cycle to Winton and even managed to cycle home.
Cloudsoft is a specialist software engineering company headquartered in Edinburgh. The tech business builds reusable, enterprise-ready technology and software for global clients like Amazon Web Services, Gartner, Dynatrace and Aviatrix.
Following the away day, Ludovic Farine, their Chief Operating Officer, commented on their experience:
“Winton Castle looks magnificent. It is a special place just 30 minutes from Edinburgh, a fantastic looking venue away from the city.
“We investigated other venues as well, but Winton was one of the most reasonably valued ones which made it viable on our budget.
“Having our event tailored just for us made it appealing too. You proposed team activities rather than having another third party in the mix.
“All our guests were colleagues from our tech company. The objective was team building, having a relaxed day out and getting to know each other. We wanted to be away from our day-to-day projects in front of our screens!”
Visitors Loved the Winton Highland Games and Delicious BBQ
“We loved the Winton Highland Games with tossing the caber and hay bale, axe throwing and a tug-o-war – great fun and competitive!
“The BBQ food was delicious too. Everyone really enjoyed it!
“The general feedback was really positive. We loved the atmosphere and how accommodating everyone was. Great comms and flexibility!
“We all had a wonderful time so thank you so much!”
Winton Castle provides a unique and memorable venue for corporate events, from team away days and company celebrations to client entertaining. The events venue’s clients have included Computershare, Panda & Sons, Aveni, Spectra Travel, The Real Mary King’s Close and Edinburgh University.
