The journey of ACF Events has been anything but static. From high adrenaline, motorised experiences to immersive, strategy-driven challenges, the business has continually evolved, while staying true to one simple goal…… bringing people together.
How It All Started
ACF Events began life in the world of outdoor adventure. Driving tanks and off road vehicles across rugged terrain wasn’t just exciting, it created powerful shared experiences that built lasting connections.
As the needs of organisations have changed, so too has the ACF Events approach and portfolio of events. Today, alongside those high-energy experiences, teams can take part in more cerebral and interactive formats, from navigating puzzles, completing team challenges, and social deduction scenarios where collaboration and critical thinking take centre stage.
Evolving with Purpose
This ability to adapt is now shaping the next stage of ACF Events journey: embedding sustainability into how the business operates and delivers events.
For Managing Director Mark Fanning, this isn’t a departure from the company’s roots, it’s a natural extension of them:
“We bring people together to create meaningful, memorable experiences.”
That focus is now being applied not just to clients, but to the wider impact ACF Events has on people, communities, and the environment.
Embedding Sustainability into What We Do
ACF Events is actively building sustainability into its team culture, operations, and event delivery. Key initiatives include:
- Third Party Accreditation: ACF has achieved Greengage ECOsmart accreditation annually since 2022, recognising its commitment to responsible and environmentally conscious event practices.
- Responsible Consumption: The team has strengthened its procurement policy to focus on sustainable principles. Creative reuse is also a priority—for example, repurposing unused warehouse materials into a unique ski lift photo opportunity feature.
- Wellbeing: ACF has expanded its wellbeing offering, enabling clients to choose activities that support both personal development and team connection.
- Community: The team is dedicated to creating a positive impact locally. In 2025, ACF supported Sleep Pod in bringing together Bristol homelessness charities and corporate partners to drive collective action.
Through a volunteering policy, team members also support local charities, contributing to fundraising efforts and environmental initiatives.
Looking Ahead
From animal encounters to the silent tension of a ‘Traitor’ reveal, ACF Events continues to create fun, memorable team building experiences – while encouraging more sustainable event choices for clients.
Our updated core purpose: Providing Fun & Memorable Experiences For The Good Of People & Planet
