How many times has the boss complained that they’re working with a bunch of mon- keys? Well, now you can prove to him what it’s really like to work with monkeys at the new £1.2m corporate complex at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. Within the complex there is two new conferencing suites: The Outlook Suite, catering for up to 140 delegates and with impressive views of the Amur Tigers in their habitat, and The Gallery Suite, with break outs and catering space and a view of the baboon enclosure. The entire complex backs onto a glass viewing window with views of the Park’s newest residents: 17 baboons. Cheryl Williams, Managing Director of Yorkshire Wildlife Park com- ments: “The baboons are able to offer a truly unique team building experience to delegates – we are currently training our latest residents to master rope-activated games that allow them to interact with visi- tors through tugs of war or spinning wheels. Delegates will be able to play communica- tion games that include learning to work together with the baboons and helping them to solve puzzles, all of which creates a stimulating and positive environment.” INFO
