Eclipse Performance UK

What Eclipse Performance UK does

Eclipse Performance UK is a privately held, founder-owned experiential development consultancy founded in 1990 and headquartered at Cragwood Country House in Windermere, in England's Lake District. The company designs and delivers bespoke multi-day programmes (typically 2 to 5 days) for elite sports teams, national representative squads, and individual elite athletes, with a secondary offering for business organisations seeking leadership and culture development. Delivery combines outdoor adventure activities — caving, mountaineering, wild camping, water sports — with sports psychology and structured facilitation inputs to shape team culture, resilience, leadership, and high-performance mindsets.

The underlying methodology rests on two proprietary frameworks: an eight-pillar foundation architecture (Adventure, Wellbeing, Memorable, Authenticity, Space and Inspiration, Performance Resilience, High Performing Teams, and Goals for the Future) and a Psychologically Informed Environment (P.I.E.) framework. These are operationalised through four core product categories — Outdoor Challenge, Restorative Activity, Facilitation Inputs, and Games Team Development Projects — and complemented by a Virtual Learning suite comprising experiential webinars, high-performance workshops, 1:1 mindset coaching, and an online Team Performance Evaluation tool. The intellectual property is human-facilitation-led rather than technology- or AI-driven.

The business model is professional services with quote-based, multi-year contract pricing. Distribution is consultative and direct: outreach via website contact forms, phone, and email, supplemented by content marketing (The Lab blog) and case-study-led credibility built on a marquee client roster including the British and Irish Lions, the English and Wales National Development Team, Manchester United, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Liverpool, and McLaren. The company operates from five employees and has run a long-standing strategic partnership with Impact since 1990, alongside a venue partnership with the LDCH Group of Lake District country house hotels. No external funding, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue figures were identified in the available data.
