ARMOURGEDDON: We had great fun with our contacts on a tank-driving experience day at Juniper Leisure in New Alresford. It was an ideal opportunity to spend quality time together in a completely different setting.
Everyone got involved, and there was a real buzz throughout with plenty of smiles alongside some friendly competition. To round things off, we had a car-crushing challenge to crown the standout tank driver, a brilliant way to end the day and definitely a memorable highlight.
A really enjoyable experience and a great opportunity to strengthen relationships with our contacts. Looking forward to the next one!

As Business South celebrates 20 years of building meaningful connections in 2026, we’re proud to have joined as Champions and look forward to attending more events in the future.
