Northgate Newsletter April 2026

Here’s a round up of what’s coming up - and what’s been going on in April!

We are proud to be a National Partner to this year’s Learning at Work Week which takes place 18-24 May 2026. We’ve already sent our FREE activity Team Roles in Action! to hundreds of organisations! Running it with your teams? Share your photos on LinkedIn and please tag us @NorthgateTrainingActivities - we'd love to see them! Not got yours yet? Request your FREE copy by emailing client.support@northgatetraining.co.uk!

If you’re marking this week in your organisation, take a look at our dedicated Wellbeing collection with games perfectly suited to the theme.

Linked topics we have covered include: 

• Psychological Safety

• Stress at Work

• Empowerment 

• Wellbeing 

• Resilience 

• and more.

Join me next month for a FREE 30 minute practical walkthrough of Going for Profit! - the business simulation designed to build teamwork, sharpen decision-making and deepen customer understanding. You'll see exactly what teams receive at the start of the simulation, plus a full trainer walkthrough including live data input - everything you need to feel confident running it with your own groups. Perfect for trainers, facilitators and L&D professionals. Book your place now by emailing client.support@northgatetraining.co.uk -  places are limited.

This month we enjoyed welcoming three L&D professionals to Bath for a hands-on demo, tailored to their projects. We love meeting you in person and talking you through how the games work - so you can see for yourselves how they can fit into your courses.

Fancy a visit? Just get in touch!

The TrainerHub is buzzing this month! Over 1,000 downloads have already been made and live game sessions are currently being run by a wide range of organisations including Kainos, Kwik-Fit, Sunbelt Rentals, Kenwood, BRE Group, National Audit Office, White & Case, Ashtead Technology, Lithia UK, DP World, Carnival and many more. Brilliant to see so many great organisations choosing Northgate to energise their learning and development.

Enquiries for 100-200+ delegate events are up! We love these and have plenty of ideas to make your conference or awayday a memorable one. From team games to business simulations, pirate treasure to escape rooms - we have so many to choose from!

Talk to us about your next event - we’ll be happy to suggest some ideas.

We’ve added the Trainer’s Notes to the Antarctic Challenge resource library on the hub so these are now available digitally as well as in hard copy. We’ve also added several new components to the Hub for The Gym including freshly designed datacards, an updated PowerPoint plus a new Checklist for printer-free delivery. Upgrades for this popular business game about turning round an ailing leisure centre. Take a look at the Trainer Forum for all recent game updates.

All the best from
