Happy Clients

I have pleasure in providing the below testimonial for Purple Soup and the work we have done together with the Orientation Program. In my role as Manager, Student Development Undergraduate for the Faculty of Business and Economics I have been responsible for the provision of Orientation programs at our Caulfield an Clayton Campuses. Our orientation program hosts in excess of 800 students. An important part of our Orientation program includes a 1 hour small group activity called “The Incredible Race”. This activity takes new students around their new campus, and gives them a chance to meet other new students and work together in small teams to solve puzzles and challenges along the way. This fun race facilitates the beginnings of friendships that we hope will continue throughout our students study period. We could not run this part of the program without the professional help from the Purple Soup Team, lead by Tim Marchinton. Tim and his crew are always on time, and model quality team building and team management skills during the running of this activity. They are always well prepared, well dressed and their professional, courteous and spirited facilitation takes the hassle and worry out of this part of our program. Students respond warmly to the Soup Crew, and the feedback from students is overwhelmingly positive; many give us the feedback that it was the activity they enjoyed the most on the day. I can’t thank Tim and his Purple Soup crew enough and can highly recommend them to any University wishing to inject some fun and laughter into an important and essential orientation learning experience.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend on behalf of my Manager, and the Management of our business a very big thank you to the team from Purple Soup Team Building. One of the attractions for Adidas – on both occasions – arranging events at the Peppers Moonah Links Resort was the team building activities arranged by Purple Soup, in particular the Golf Cart Challenge. This particular team building exercise is of great benefit to the Leaders of our business. Our business looks forward to supporting and working with Purple Soup in the coming future. The positive energy Purple Soup brings to their work, the enthusiasm, their professionalism and thoroughness is a joy to experience and to work alongside. Thank you team.

It was like Tim was part of the party (even though he was running it). He’s very natural and made the whole process seamless and fun. I haven’t laughed like that for ages.
Tim was a fun, energetic, passionate host who clearly loves what he does. He was very friendly and encouraging and put on a great show that got our team laughing and having a tremendous time.
A fun night! A well run event that was very engaging and highly entertaining with a lot of fun memories created for our team. I would highly recommend Purple Soup.
Thanks again Tim, it was an amazing event that has increased the affinity within our team and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

We have been proud to promote Purple Soup to our corporate clients for team building activities for the last 18 months. The team is reliable, fun and energetic and have a huge range of team building activities to choose from. Their charity work is inspiring to us and we look forward to continuing our fabulous relationship with this company well into the future. Thanks Purple Soup :-).

We have been involved with Purple Soup in particular Tim, for the past 18 months. Purple Soup have put on some of the best Team Event programmes that I have ever had the pleasure of being involved with. The feedback from our clients has always been excellent and the way in which the programs are conducted make them challenging, exciting, rewarding and FUN! Purple Soup are extremely well prepared and professional, and our clients events have always been a great success. And the most rewarding thing about this great team and organization? All profits and monies raised go straight back into providing day programs and overnight camps for seriously ill children and their families. I will continue to recommend Purple Soup to our clients. Well done Purple Soup!
