Freshwalks

Thanks to ARC for such an incredible base for our Executive Spring Retreat last week.

🌞 We enjoyed cracking weather across 2 days of hiking in the Macclesfield countryside. Rehydrated with a brewery tour courtesy of Wincle Beer Company and refuelled with two nights of shared cooking over an open fire 🔥

Arc Peaks is a luxury heritage residence offering unrivalled access to the surrounding forest and moorland. The outstanding facilities are perfect for senior business leaders looking for a midweek mind reset and body refresh 🙏

Come say hi 👋 if you’re interested in future retreats or maybe collaborating to host a private event.

Tremendous 40-strong Freshwalks turnout in the Derwent Valley. These last Friday of the month classic hikes give business owners and senior executives the opportunity to switch off minds, digitally detox, reconnect with nature and share personal/business challenges with other like-minded souls.

“On Friday, I had the chance to break away from the typical desk routine and immerse myself in nature during my first Freshwalks adventure. Trekking over 20km, the stunning scenery and invigorating fresh air provided the perfect backdrop for some much-needed mental clarity. It was refreshing to engage in meaningful conversations with like-minded professionals, discussing both business and life without the constant interruptions of phone notifications or the glow of laptop screens. Already looking forward to the next excursion!”

William Purser, Purser Consultancy Ltd
