Last Friday’s Webinar on our Hotel business simulation was a great turnout - thanks for joining us! We walked Trainers through just how simple it is to run in the room - including the online version, which lets teams view and enter their own info via laptop or even a phone. Missed it? Simply contact us at hello@northgatetraining.co.uk and we can book you in for a short, friendly (and always no obligation) walkthrough.

We've officially launched our Complete Trainer's Library! If you're after a ready-made bank of activities to dip into whenever you need them, this is for you. Whether you're filling a session, building a programme, or just need fresh inspiration, it's all in one place. Let us know what you think.

“We run a week-long skills week which culminates with this escape room game - it goes down really well - thanks Northgate!” Claire Fears, Trainer, National Audit Office

It feels far off, but World of Learning on 6 & 7 October is only three months away! We’re already planning what we’ll bring along. Are you planning to attend? It’s being held at the NEC in Birmingham UK. Let us know - we’d love to catch up in person and talk through your training! To register to attend this event click here.

Planning your next session just got easier. We've pulled together a handy matrix (in an Excel spreadsheet) covering all our games, the key topics each one addresses, and other useful info to help you choose the right tool for the job. Email us and we’ll send you a copy for future planning - it's a great one to keep on hand!

A farmer had a field that was 100m by 100m and he found it was ideal for sustaining a flock of 10 sheep for a month. He then bought a field that was 200m by 200m. Assuming everything else stays the same (same quality of grazing, climate, water management) and that the sheep capacity is proportional to area, how many sheep did he allocate to this new field? Let us know your answer!
