Eventurous founders Joanna and Joseph Garland have acquired the assets, team and corporate client contracts of team building and corporate experiences specialist Off Limits, strengthening their growing UK events portfolio.
The acquisition sees the creation of a new parent company, The Events Network Ltd, which will trade under the Off Limits brand name and honour all existing corporate bookings, ensuring continuity for clients and partners.
Off Limits has long been established in the UK market for corporate team building and engagement experiences, and the move forms part of the Garlands’ wider long-term strategy to build a multi-disciplinary events group with enhanced operational capability.
Joanna Garland said continuity for both clients and staff was a key priority following the acquisition:
“Supporting the clients and teams who have trusted Off Limits with their events is absolutely essential to us. Honouring every booking is not just a business decision – it’s a reflection of who we are and how we operate. We want every customer to feel confident that their event will be delivered with care, creativity, and professionalism. Our commitment to excellence, reliability and innovation remains at the heart of everything we do.”
Writing on Linkedin, Off Limits' Martin Stephens said: “It’s been a challenging few months for everyone connected to Off Limits, and I want to acknowledge the colleagues who were impacted. Their hard work and commitment to the brand will always be valued. I’m pleased to share that I’ll be continuing my involvement with Off Limits under the new ownership of Joe and Joanna Garland. I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity to help refocus and grow the business, and I’m excited to work with Joe and Joanna as we take Off Limits into its next chapter. Looking forward to reconnecting with clients, partners, and friends as we move ahead with renewed energy and purpose.”
The acquisition brings Off Limits into a portfolio that already includes full-service agency Eventurous, interactive entertainment specialist 4 Events, Warwickshire venue Mythe Barn, and tipi and festival venue Sheepy Meadows, which is known for hosting corporate festivals and automotive launches.
The retained Off Limits team will continue to deliver existing programmes, while clients are expected to benefit from access to a wider range of services, increased scale and deeper industry expertise across the group. Eventurous will also expand its ability to deliver large-scale, diverse and complex event programmes, drawing on Off Limits’ specialist knowledge in team building and engagement-led experiences.
The Garlands said the move reflects continued confidence in the UK corporate events market, particularly demand for experiences that prioritise connection, participation and measurable engagement.
The Events Network Ltd will operate from Atherstone, with Off Limits continuing to trade under its established brand identity.
