Meet the team who put together the UK’s most anticipated team building event.

Peter is also CEO of Benchmark plc and entrepreneur in residence at Oxford Science Innovations. His commitment to Marco Polo Events is allied to his belief in the importance of health and wellbeing in society today, and the critical role corporations can play in this.

He led the investment team of ex-competitors to ensure this iconic event survived by acquiring the business from IMG in 2016. Since this the event has gone from strength to strength, with 3 UK Challenges held under the Marco Polo Events banner.
Dave overseas the whole business ensuring each event surpasses expectations which has led to the re-introduction of the World Challenge Series with the Algarve Challenge held in 2019, and the expansion of our in-house consultancy where companies use our unique team building approach to add value in their own business.


Alongside his day job, Joss plays rugby for Bishops Stortford Rugby Club in National League 1, where UK Challenge are proud to be his “player sponsor”. He is a qualified teacher, and was also appointed as head coach of the Sweden U18 Women’s Rugby 7s team in August 2019.
