What we did this month – May 2019

 
From eating one too many tacos to enjoying plenty of networking – the month of May was definitely one-of-a-kind!
Read on to see what fun n’ frolics May brought to the TravelMedia.ie Towers:

Office night out

It’s quite rare in TravelMedia.ie for all of us to be in the same place at once. And so, when we are – we like to take advantage of it!
In May we had a team night out which consisted of indulging in delicious tacos from the Mexican restaurant: 777 and having a sociable beer (or two).

Let’s just say, it’s always a good time with the TravelMedia.ie team.

AWTE Development Session with James Sweetman

A development session with James Sweetman followed. James is a Motivational Speaker, Life Coach and Author and it’s safe to say that it was an extremely inspirational event.
