Latest progress at King Edward VI Camp Hill Schools in #Birmingham. Excavation into a steep bank has created the footprint for the FIH compliant hockey/multi-use synthetic pitch, helping reduce the impact on the playing fields. Pitch base taking shape following soil stabilisation

Visit to Anglesey to check up on works at Ysgol Gyfun Llangefni where improvements to the school sporting provision are being made. A fresh porous macadam surface course has been added to the outdoor courts. And a 3G training pitch will soon be installed below a canopy covering.

Good to return to The Edinburgh Academy, 6 months since project handover. Last summer both of the hockey pitches were refurbished to FIH Category 3 requirements. Proud to have supported the Academy to design/help deliver a key sports facility project, several years in the making.

The 3G at Ysgol y Creuddyn is really taking shape. 2 years since my initial feasibility report & 18 months since putting together the pitch design spec, I cannot wait to see the end result. Key milestones this week, 3G turf now rolled out & the hub building hoisted into position
