Elite Sports Surfaces

"This marvellous facility is a huge boost for sport and the development of St Helens which will enable even more people to become active. The council is committed to improving people’s lives, creating better places, and delivering effectively together. Ruskin Drive is a symbol of that commitment."

Barrie Grunewald, Council leader

"We are so pleased with our new all-weather surface. The finished product is even better than we had hoped it would be. During the construction programme we found Velocity staff to be hard working, knowledgeable, helpful and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again for any future projects."

Heather Cook, Bursar

"We placed a great deal of faith in Velocity and they certainly delivered, I would be happy to recommend them to other clubs looking to upgrade their stadium pitch."

Inanc Elitok, Chairman of Ware FC

"We wanted to create an identity for Beaconsfield as a football club, and with the development that is what we did. Beaconsfield has not traditionally had a big attendance in terms of crowds, as we can have as little as 80 people, but sometimes with an away crowd, we can get up to 250/300 people. So, the issue we have is how can we get the local community to come along and watch us? A way of doing that is getting children to play at the club and get their parents to come along as well. But we need to have a product attractive enough to sell for people to come and watch us in the first place, now we have that."

Managing director, Peter Bromage, Beaconsfield Town FC

"We knew that by utilising the same team as the tennis court project on the main school site that Velocity were a safe pair of hands. The project was delivered on time and within budget, we’re really proud of our fantastic new facility and the boys are thoroughly enjoying using it."

Martin McKenna, Estates manager

"Velocity were excellent, they worked collaboratively with us and the entire design team to help deliver an outstanding result, arguably the finest non-league football facility in the country."

Project manager Stephen Morton of CBES,

"The pitch was built at a difficult time of year weather wise however the quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail was spot on and it was clear Velocity took pride in delivering to a high specification. They were flexible in adapting to change and ensured the programme stayed on track throughout the build. I would have no hesitation in recommending them."

Simon Tunley, Head of Sport, University of Sussex

"Velocity were brilliant to work with, very collaborative and we’re grateful to have such a reliable supplier who always deliver. Together we have produced a world class facility for our Academy and the University."

Gareth Rise, Head of Academy, Ealing Trailfinders RFC

"I'm really proud of the latest investment we've made to improving leisure facilities in Ilford North. It's the first time the pitch at Ashton has been updated since 1986, so this was long overdue. It’s great to see the pitch in such good condition and this super facility will enable use throughout the year."
