Last week, the London Coniq team travelled out to meet their colleagues in Macedonia for their first summer party. While the teams work closely together all year via conference call, email and phone, it gave everyone a great chance to meet in person and enjoy some of the delights Macedonia has to offer.
The event was arranged over two beautifully sunny days, beginning with Kayaking on the Matka river before the teams got glammed up for dinner and dancing. Day two began with a trip to Kamnik Hunter Lodge where everyone got a chance to test their aim at the shooting range.
A trip to Kamnik wouldn’t be complete without a wander through the vineyards and learning how the wines were produced. Macedonian wines are becoming famous for combining traditional techniques with modern technology to produce wines of the highest quality, which are now winning awards around the world. Our own Coniq judging team sampled the wine but unfortunately their expert opinion only ran to “mmm, very nice”.
The final meal of the trip was prepared by one of the region’s famous chefs, then there was a quick trip to the city centre for some sightseeing before the London team headed back home.
A great time was had by all, and the chance to meet in person has helped to strengthen working relationships across the teams. A big thanks to Marina for organising a truly fabulous two days!
