Last weekend, our entire team from the Guernsey office made their way over to Jersey to meet up with Helen, our Head of Jersey for our Summer Social. Our first stop was a trip to Jersey War Tunnels and as most of us had never been, we were excited to see what the attraction has to offer. On arrival, we headed up to the cafe and after a delicious breakfast plus a drink (or two) we then split into two teams of five. Team #1 captained by Katie, headed off to take a tour of the tunnels, whilst Team #2 captained by Becky, took on the Prison Break Escape Room. After an hour we swapped tasks and naturally the competitive debrief took place. Despite some slightly inaccurate bragging, we can confirm that neither team managed to escape in time! The tunnels themselves were truly a humbling, immersive experience that we’d highly recommend experiencing for yourself. Next on the agenda we headed to Quayside Seafood Restaurant where we had a fantastic late lunch up on sun terrace and took in the views. We ended the day spending some time enjoying the hustle and bustle of St Helier in the sunshine, before heading back down to the harbour to catch the Manche Iles Express back to Guernsey. A massive thank you to Damian W. and his team at JWT for their hospitality and to the team at Quayside for a fantastic lunch. A thoroughly enjoyable day was had by all!
