The Purple Frog team recently took to the skies with Shropshire Aero Club for an unforgettable aviation experience. The day offered colleagues the opportunity to step away from their usual work environment and gain a unique perspective, quite literally, from above.

Team members enjoyed a range of activities, from scenic flights to introductory piloting sessions, including the chance to experience what it’s like to fly a plane as our CEO, Alex, regularly does. For those seeking an additional challenge, aerobatic manoeuvres provided an exciting insight into advanced aviation techniques.

The cockpit canopy is open, and two people are seated inside, while another person stands outside near the wing, touching the aircraft.

The experience served as a valuable team-building opportunity, allowing staff to unwind, connect, and return with a renewed sense of energy and appreciation for one another. It also highlighted the importance of creating space for shared experiences that strengthen collaboration and morale.

We look forward to future opportunities that continue to inspire, motivate, and elevate the team both professionally and personally.
