“Thank you for being great” – Fun Day Fridays at Whirlpool

From the 1st of June 2018, Whirlpool has been bringing fun and laughter to their Peterborough call centre by way of saying ‘thank you’ to their employees for their hard work.

Every week, Ace Tones have been providing a new entertaining activity. Meant not only to delight but also to surprise, the activities are a closely guarded secret, raising not a little speculation before they are revealed each Friday. Treats like ice cream, popcorn and candy floss, and games including the Batak Wall, Anky Racing… but shh! we can say no more, as some of the events are yet to happen!

What we can say is that we have had wonderful feedback from Whirlpool employees.

Incentive days at Amazon Peterborough

Ace Tones have been working with Amazon since 2016, supplying corporate entertainment to various branches across the UK. In the summer of 2017, Ace Tones started working with Amazon’s Peterborough branch, organising staff incentive days.

The 10th to 17th July 2017 was Amazon Prime week. As anyone may guess, it is a very busy time for the online retailer. Amazon wanted to say ‘thank you’ to their staff for their sterling effort.

Ace Tones set up an entertainment hot spot in the cafeteria. An interactive light chasing table sparked countless fun competitions among colleagues. The photo booth proved equally popular, taking hundreds of selfies in fun or exotic surroundings. The popcorn, candy floss and slush puppies machines were replenished often, to deal with unlimited demand.

Following on from the success of the July incentive days, Ace Tones were invited back in November, to help kick off Amazon’s six weeks of Christmas entertainment. On the 22nd of November, an Ace Tones iPad caricaturist spent a day at the Peterborough site, drawing the caricatures of those willing to pose. The digital images were enthusiastically shared and commented on, not only by colleagues, but also by friends and family on social media.

“We have used Ace Tones on a number of occasions and we have always been happy with their service. They have responded with creativity and flexibility to our request, tailoring their service to match our needs. They came up with fun activities that proved engaging and inclusive to our employees and have also shown great flexibility in matching Amazon’s shift pattern. We value Ace Tones as our supplier and will be in touch with them again.“ M. Hobson, Amazon Peterborough

Testimonials

Our staff had a great day, and the buzz wire game was enjoyed by all.

D. Charles - Ocado

Lewis and the team are easy to work with, all the events are well organised and the amount of involvement required from us was minimal. All in all, a great experience and good value. We will certainly be working with Ace Tones in the future and would recommend their service.

L. Cumberland - Whirlpool

I have been using Ace Tones for a few years now and have always received good service. The office staff are most helpful and have always given me useful advice and ideas. We recently organised a Health Day event. The Giant Operation Game provided light entertainment for the staff and it fitted well with the Health theme.

T. Clark, John Lewis Peterborough

A great events company - they were more than happy to keep working with us to design our event and provided a first-class service both before, during & after our event. We had a corporate day with lots going on and the Ace Tones team slotted in to the day effortlessly - just what we needed!

G. Dearlove - Ignition Point

The event was great - really enjoyable. Many thanks for all of your help.

N Lyon, BP Chemicals
