About us
Developing teams, leaders and organisations
Red Rock International was formed in 2005 by Nick and Robert and soon after joined by Nader. Together, they have gone on to be leaders of an organisation with more than 30 incredible people. RRI was created to help people live their best life at work. By influencing attitudes, developing skills and building relationships we have helped tens of thousands of people to live better lives at work and beyond.
Our initial work used the challenge of outdoor adventure as a catalyst for personal growth. Since then we have added many new experiential approaches to our development toolkit.
We continue to design and deliver programmes and events from our centres in the UK, Egypt and Qatar.
