Monkey business for Worthington staff

COMPANY staff took to the trees on a team-building exercise in the Lake District.

The thrill-seeking group ventured up to Grizedale Forest to experience the award-winning high wire adventure course Go Ape.

Office and site staff were joined by a handful of contractors for a fun-filled day in the trees, which incorporates a mixture of rope bridges, tarzan swings and zip slides.

Site agent Peter Blakey, who organised the trip, said: “Up to 30 of us try to get away at least once a year for an adventurous weekend, which is always financially-backed by Marcus.

“Team bonding plays a big part, but there is also a strong emphasis on having some fun. However, I’m not so sure that Steve Smith would agree, as he looked a little bit white and was too scared to take any photos!”

Previous excursions include whitewater rafting, go-karting and paintballing.
