TEAM BUILDING!

28 Mar 2025

The rise in the popularity of corporate events and team building activities in recent years can be attributed to various factors. Mainly companies are increasingly beginning to recognise the importance of fostering a positive and collaborative work environment for their employees.

Pop-up power units for outdoor team building spaces are a convenient way to provide access to electrical outlets in open, outdoor areas whilst repurposing land areas in order to increase capital. Pop Up Power Units typically include retractable or pop-up columns with sockets for charging devices, providing power for outdoor events such as these, or facilitating hospitality. These units are designed to blend with outdoor aesthetics whilst ensuring safety and functionality. Outdoor electricity facilitates the re-use of outdoor areas.

Outdoor team-building events are popular for fostering collaboration, activities can include adventure challenges, problem-solving exercises, and physical tasks in an outdoor setting. Such events provide a change of environment, promoting creativity and breaking routine. Some may even consider this fun! Outdoor team building can range from wilderness retreats and survival exercises to sports and recreational activities, depending on the goals of the company. These experiences aim to strengthen relationships among team members, improve teamwork skills, and contribute to a positive and motivated work culture.

UK businesses are spending more and more on team building exercises for their employees. On average companies will spend in excess of  £400 per employee on activities that will boost morale and keep British workers happier in their jobs. The UK events industry is a world leader in staging events. As a sector, it is currently worth £39 billion to the UK economy.

Outdoor power can add new functionality and purpose to a commercial or public space such as a lawned area, a courtyard, farm yard, wide footpath or even a large garden. This can unlock its potential in many different ways. For example, if you have a large, mostly unused land area, installing power distribution units can enable the space to be used to provide a corporate event space or outdoor adventure area as an electricity supply for lighting, machinery, and hospitality will be available.

There are three main units in the range – pop up units, power bollards and in-ground, all of which provide a range of durable outdoor power. Each unit is available with a range of configurations, as well as bespoke in-ground power units or pop up units with recessed tops that can accommodate different forms of surface material such as paving, grass and any other surface required.

All Pop Up Power Units are all manufactured to order so can be configured to suit the exact requirements of the site. That could be to specify a certain number of power sockets or adding other services such as a telecoms line. All the units supplied by Pop Up Power Supplies are manufactured to the highest standards using high quality materials including stainless steel to provide a robust solution over a long service life.

Pop Up Power works closely with architects, contractors, business owners, council planners, and other professionals, to ensure the successful specification of power units and project success every time.
