Staff Focus – Childrens Parties in Safe Hands

Article published: February 7th, 2012

Every month we visit a member of our fantastic team. This month we follow our paint ball and laser tag specialist, Jamie Pagett, to find out how he does his job so well and how he helps to create perfect Kids Parties in Derbyshire and Staffordshire!

Job Title – Jamie runs and manages our Paint ball & Laser Tag Centre and also the Staffordshire Multi Activity Centre

What is a typical day in the life of Jamie?- “Just last week, we started the day with 14 9 year old kids doing a Laser Combat Party, and then I went on to do a Boot Camp Party with 6 10 year old girls. In the afternoon we welcomed 30 grown men on a Paint ball Party Stag Do, so a very varied day was had“

What do you like about your job?- “I love my job because no two days will be the same. I get to meet lots of great people and most people that come say they would love my job, which is fantastic! I work in the best surroundings with a great team so every day is fun and action packed.“

You must see some amusing sights in your job – please tell!- “Some of the best giggles we have are when we are doing Blind Driving Sessions, especially when it’s a man and wife team. It’s amazing how many people forget to say which way to go, bearing in mind the driver is blind folded. They either say “that way” or use their hands to direct (which again the driver can’t see) as they can’t remember which way is left or right in the heat of the moment.”

A team member we are certainly proud of! For more information on superb Children’s Parties in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, click here!

All the fun with no drama

We had such a good stag do with Hard Days Knight in the Peak District, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! From the start, they organised everything down to a tee, making it a weekend none of us will forget. The accommodation was good, comfortably fitting our group and perfectly located for everything on the itinerary. One of the absolute highlights was the Hunted activity - a mix of orienteering with a twist where you’re actually being chased! It was such a laugh and brought out everyone's competitive side, with a good bit of adrenaline thrown in. A massive thank you to Greg in particular, whose communication was faultless. He kept us updated every step of the way, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. His local knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience and made us feel like we were in safe hands. If you're planning a stag do and want a unique, well-organised experience in the Peaks, Hard Days Knight is the way to go. Cheers to Greg and the team for a brilliant weekend - we’re still talking about it!

My brother's stag do was nothing short of amazing. We've had a myriad of activities to choose from in a wonderful location. Sadly, the Best Man, who paid the deposit for the country house we stayed in, had some disputes with the property owner, who withheld the deposit claiming damages (which were previously there). Once Hard Days Knight was informed, Greg immediately stepped in to refund our deposit out of pocket, so that he can help handle and mediate. This immediately shows us that Greg prioritises keeping our Stag Do a happy memory, and it's very much appreciated.

We had an excellent time on our brother’s stag that we organised with Greg. Cannot fault the experience, Greg was extremely helpful and efficient with putting together a great weekend in a fairly short period of time. The accommodation suggested worked out perfectly, especially with the attached pool, hot tub and games room which were an added bonus. The activities lived up to our expectations and again were well organised and timings made the whole weekend work without any issues. Everyone had a lot of fun and I would highly recommend going with HDK for any stag/ hen-do.
