Some Unforgettable Moments from our Team Building Day! ☀️

Last Friday, the NAKEDPR team came together for an exhilarating team-building day, all carefully curated by our MD, Jackie Logan. Setting a positive tone for the day ahead, we began with breakfast at Harlem Belfast.

Then we were off to Prison Island Belfast, where we tackled 31 themed cells that challenged our technical, teamwork and physical skills. Teams “Paddy the Petrified” and “B and the Banshees” competed, with the former claiming victory.

Next, we joined the Belfast Taste and Tour for a journey around Belfast City Centre. Our local guide, Seamus led us to many of the city’s popular food and drink spots whilst sharing insights into Belfast’s history, people, and culture.

It was a fun day packed full of excitement, laughter and camaraderie.

Together we grow at NAKEDPR! 💪🏻
