Only the dancers can hear the music, but can their teammates decipher the song?<\/li>\n<li>Hungry Hippo \u2013 Teams compete to collect as many balls as they can. When the game begins, all four \u2018hippos\u2019 will try and run to the centre of the inflatable to collect a ball, then being pulled back by the bungee ropes attached to your belt.<\/li>\n<li>Golden Bungee Balls \u2013 Fight against the bungee rope around your waist and catch in your Golden Bucket. But be careful when you throw, any that miss the bucket will not be counted.<\/li>\n<li>Bring on the Beans &#8211; Armed with cups and a basic \u2018tool kit\u2019, each team will race across a giant inflatable course to fill their container with beans. The person \u2018caring\u2019 for the beans is blindfolded and will be guided by a trusty teammate through the bouncy terrain.<\/li>\n<li>Blindfolded Face Painting \u2013 Race against the clock to create a masterpiece. Four team members will become blindfolded makeup artists, four will be painted and two will give verbal instructions to the artists.<\/li>\n<li>Catwalk Challenge \u2013 Create the most daring, brightest and flamboyant headpiece. You\u2019ll have 10 minutes to create three looks before hitting the runway in front of adoring crowds.<\/li>\n<li>Dance along to the hits of Broadway. Judges will decide who has the best moves.<\/li>\n<li>Which team will perform the best Haka? A Haka expert will show contestants the moves and teach the words, before stepping onto the hallowed ground that is the \u2018Big Business Rugby Pitch\u2019 to perform.<\/li>\n<li>Human Table Football \u2013 Teams play against each other to score maximum goals in their allocated time on an inflatable human table football arena.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s a Knockout \u2013 Teams compete in head-to-head races throughout the session. Which will be the first team to negotiate the ultimate inflatable challenge?<\/li>\n<li>Last One Standing \u2013 Players stand on an inflatable bed while the arm swings round, having to jump and balance in order to be the last one standing.<\/li>\n<li>The Mighty Quiz \u2013 Teams face off to tackle trivia, crack conundrums and answer their way to victory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>This is the first BCDC event<\/h3>\n<p>The event comes as a result of the success of the Big Rail Diversity Challenge, which first took place in 2016, as well as the Big Logistics Diversity Challenge in 2019.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_147730\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-147730\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-147730 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DHL-D_I-Spartans-Walk-the-Plank-BLDC22-2.jpg\" alt=\"The Walk the Plank challenge\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DHL-D_I-Spartans-Walk-the-Plank-BLDC22-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DHL-D_I-Spartans-Walk-the-Plank-BLDC22-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DHL-D_I-Spartans-Walk-the-Plank-BLDC22-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DHL-D_I-Spartans-Walk-the-Plank-BLDC22-2-632x420.jpg 632w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DHL-D_I-Spartans-Walk-the-Plank-BLDC22-2-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/DHL-D_I-Spartans-Walk-the-Plank-BLDC22-2-610x406.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-147730\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9Nimble<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 2025 BCDC has brought together key industry stakeholders, including the British Woodworking Federation, the Asbestos Control and Abatement Division, and the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association, giving them a chance to demonstrate their commitment to promoting EDI.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Atkinson CBE, CILT fellow and Aston University academic fellow in supply chain management and engineering systems, said: \u201cWithout diversity and inclusion, we won\u2019t have diversity of thought;
