Kidderminster Carolians Rugby Club took on a distinctly tropical look when partners and staff at accountants and business advisers Horwath Clark Whitehill went Caribbean for the day.

The club, a client of Horwath Clark Whitehill, hosted the firm’s annual It’s A Knockout staff training and team-building day. About 80 staff were divided into teams named after Caribbean islands for the afternoon’s competition.

Pat Moore, the firm’s Midlands chairman, said: “Staff really look forward to this summer event enormously because they can let off steam in an informal atmosphere away from the office.

“It’s an opportunity for our people from the two offices to get together to compete in a variety of ingenious scenarios in a fierce but friendly way.

“It’s all good fun with plenty of laughs but events like this show that you can get a lot from it in learning team skills and testing leadership
