Tarra Simmons – Head of Colleague Engagement, Midcounties Co-operative Society
A great, different & exciting way of getting people to recognise the significance of working together & how as a team you can produce amazing results.
My brief to Steve was to bring the “Wow Factor” to the dreaded after lunch slot & when Steve &when his team burst into our annual managers conference they succeeded in energizing & bring together over 550 Managers from across our business. Feedback from the event has been extremely positive & Unbeatable Energy delivered exactly what they promised.

We hired Unbeatable Energy to provide fun musical team-building input to our Bold Immersion programme. The Bold Immersion programme provides a special opportunity for outstanding students to gain a rare glimpse into the technology industry, as well as receiving valuable personal and career development.
The focus of the event was on the values of leadership and group development. As some of the activities during the day involved an element of competition between teams in the group, we wanted something fun and fresh which would reconnect the students with each other and provide an experience which would celebrate group success. Unbeatable Energy’s Boomwhacker Energiser session was the prefect activity to achieve this.
Within minutes the students were playing multiple rhythms with the Boomwhackers and the room was buzzing with positive energy. Each individual part was quite simple when played on its own, but was transformed when played in synergy with all the other parts. Steve Rivers led the activity with energy, enthusiasm and passion and gave the group the confidence to achieve far more than they would have imagined in such a short space of time. As a result, the day finished with a strong sense of group achievement among the students who appeared thoroughly invigorated by the experience.

Dear Steve
I am writing to thank you and your team for your outstanding support at our Aurum Conference and Awards event on Monday.
The Boomwhacker session was an incredible experience and the feedback from our delegates has been unanimously positive. The energy and passion displayed by you and your team was fantastic and was quickly transferred to our delegates. As well as having a great deal of fun, everyone took on board the teamwork message from the session, which is a reflection of your success.
The day has been repeatedly described as our best ever Conference and your contribution to that was significant. I particularly wanted to acknowledge and thank you for this.
As you will be aware from the content of the day, we value our relationships with our preferred partners very highly and it has been a pleasure to work with you and your team on this occasion.
Thank you again for your teamwork and great support.

The workshop was incredibly uplifting, it brought so many smiles to the group. It was the perfect tonic for a long day in a meeting room

If you need energy, vitality and a bit of va va voom then Steve is your man! He can bring together a room of 80 people together in about 5 minutes and have them making beautiful powerful music! A Pleasure to work with!

A truly unforgettable experience! We hired Steve and team to build a collegiate vibe in the middle of our “All hands” meeting, Straight Talk. The idea was kept under wraps and in the middle of a particularly challenging question, two orange clad guys wearing African drums leapt out and took over the stage…the looks on some people’s faces were priceless! “Boomwhackers” were quickly passed out to the 300 plus strong staff audience and the lesson began: ”this is how your boomwhacker works..”
Within moments a sound of sorts emerged and people really started to get into the vibe. Within a few minutes we were making a fairly passable tune and hearing over 300 people make a syncopated tune was utterly amazing. By the end we were singing African chants and it was clear people really enjoyed themselves. Feedback on the event was excellent and I would heartily recommend Steve and his merry drummers to all. If you’re looking for something different and thoroughly stimulating and creative, Unbeatable Energy get my vote!

“I would like to thank Steve Rivers of Unbeatable Energy Ltd for his professionalism and non-stop energy when he facilitated a Boomwhacker workshop for over 300 Jobcentre Plus Senior Managers from across the North-West of England. The Boomwhackers were part of our “Fusion – Celebrating Cultural Diversity” event that we held in Manchester which brought together senior managers heading up different Job Centre Plus departments from Chester to Carlisle and from Stockport to Liverpool.
We were delighted at the way the Boomwhacker session rounded of a highly successful sharing experience of working with diverse cultures. The aim of the full-day event was to inspire and motivate the managers as well as engender an understanding of how people can work together creatively.
The whole event went really well and achieved all our objectives with the Boomwhacker session being an exceptional end to the day. It’s not often that you can find something that gets everyone involved irrespective of age, gender or ethnicity. We wanted to bring people together and the session did that superbly with an energetic and inspiring end to the day.”

Jill Gore, Manager Sheffield Law Society
“Sheffield Law Society’s Annual Dinner is held in the Cutlers’ Hall and is one of the biggest events in our calendar. Honoured guests include the Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire, the High Sheriff of South Yorkshire, the Lord Mayor, judges and literally dozens of normally pinstriped solicitors and barristers.
This year we wanted to add some extra fizz to the evening, so we included a Boomwhacker session with Unbeatable Energy. It was quite amazing to see people normally considered reserved letting their hair down and thoroughly enjoying themselves. It certainly made for a very different Annual Dinner and one that will not be forgotten in a hurry. If you had suggested there would be over 400 members and guests of the Law Society thumping plastic tubes to make music in the Cutlers’ Hall, I might have questioned your sanity but the Boomwhacker session added a real buzz to the evening. The high-energy session provided by Unbeatable Energy was really uplifting and gave us something out of the ordinary.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Unbeatable Energy Ltd as a first-rate, professional service provider of fantastic corporate entertainment.”
Jill Gore, Manager Sheffield Law Society

“Just wanted to say again how much we enjoyed your performance at the Information Commons Launch. We had so many positive comments about the drumming and it really did give the whole event a real lift. I particularly appreciated the way you understood what it was we were trying to achieve and how you enacted this so effectively.
I hope I have the opportunity to include you in other events in the future – it certainly makes things much more interesting and it’s always good to keep people on their toes!”
Alexandra Hunt, Information Commons Manager, University of Sheffield
