VMS, Northampton Dragon Boat Festival. Saturday 31st May
Still buzzing from our incredibly unexpected victory on Saturday!! Thank you and all the team for your seamless organisation, both beforehand (especially with the unfortunate postponement) and on the day. We had an amazing time and are definitely coming back to defend our title next year! There is even talk of 2 boats!!! Please pass on my sincere thanks to everyone for making the day so smooth and effortless (unless you were a rower!!).
American Express, Cotswolds. Tuesday 10th June.
I want to say huge thank you to you and the team including Lake 86. I think it’s safe to say that the race and all activities and the café on site exceeded our expectations. We had a great time and everyone told us how much they enjoyed the time at Lake 86! The activities, the briefing and presentations were organised brilliantly! Thank you again for contributing to a big success of our offsite.
Kenvue, Silver Wing Lake. Wednesday 18th June.
We had our first ever company Dragon Boat race with New Wave and they were fantastic. The organisation was so slick, especially on the day we really didn't have to lift a finger and could just enjoy it. Every element was well planned and seamlessly organised. Thank you!
MK Loft Boarding, Milton Keynes Dragon Boat Festival. Saturday 19th July.
Where do I start. We entered the dragon boat race last year in Milton Keynes and come 3rd place and what a brilliant day it was. We entered again this year and it was fantastic and exceed last years. every single one of the staff at new wave events are a credit to the company. The weather was not the best again but that did not dampen (excuse the pun) any ones mood. the safety briefs were on point and made sure we knew what to do in the event of a capsize. I will be totally honest and say this is one event i look forward to the most every year.
Kroll, Surrey Quays. Thursday 7th August.
We really and truly enjoyed the experience. It was so good being out on that water, rowing and going for it, finding our groove and eventually winning when the teams evened out. In terms of feedback it’s all positive, your service to us out on the water with the boats etc. was exceptional, you trained us on how to row properly which in the end led to the best team winning.
BNP Paribas, Dorney Lake. Wednesday 10th September.
We recently had a dragon boat event with around 50 people, and it was managed seamlessly from start to finish. The whole day ran so smoothly, and the team made everything feel relaxed and enjoyable. They were professional, friendly, and such a lovely group of people to work with
Four Corners Farming, Cambridge Dragon Boat Festival. Saturday 13th September.
Thank you to you and your team for such a magical day on Saturday. We all had a complete blast and found everyone from New Wave to be supportive, helpful and kind. Please pass on our sincere thanks to all involved and we look forward to seeing you again next year.
