Scientific research, they claim, shows that cold temperatures are a crucial factor for a productive workforce with performance markedly better in a winter environment.

With this in mind, Chill Factore has transformed a balcony alongside a ski slope into a space where delegates can meet and discuss in sub-zero temperatures, with real snow just metres away.

The sub-zero arctic temperatures they claim will boost productivity, creativity and probably ensure a shorter meeting than usual.

Chill Factore also have three flexible, conventional conference rooms which will seat up to 130 delegates for a theatre style meeting in the largest format.

Each room is equipped with a projector, screen, free wi-fi, flip-charts and a conference toolbox. The Sports Bar at Chill Factore can also be hired for day and evening meetings for up to 50 guests.

Chill Factore offer a range of team-building activities from sledge relay to igloo building.

Chill Factore is situated on Trafford Quays Leisure Village overlooking the M60 motorway at junction 10. It is less than four miles from the centre of Manchester.
