Playdale Wins National Contract

Europe’s largest touring organisation, The Caravan Club, has awarded playground equipment specialist, Playdale, a nationwide contract to install and maintain over 120 brand new play areas at Caravan Club sites throughout the UK.

The contract was secured by Playdale following a four-way tender and will see the company install the latest adventure trail and other types of timber playground equipment from the Playdale range at Caravan Club sites.

The project is being undertaken as part of a three year schedule of works. Playdale will provide a full turnkey solution from design and specification of the play areas, through installation, to maintenance and annual audits.

Site purchasing manager for The Caravan Club, Steve Kovacs, said: “Run by and for its members, The Caravan Club exists to provide the ultimate in sites and services for caravaners up and down the country. We were committed to overhauling our play areas to ensure they were in keeping with the high standards of facilities throughout our sites and also adhere to the latest health and safety requirements. 

“Playdale has a solid track record in the playground equipment sector and put forward the most proactive response to our tender. The crucial thing for us was that they were able to match high quality products with the flexibility we needed in terms of service offering to maintain the sites.”

The play areas will cater for all ages, with adventure trails designed for children from three years up to adults, and with modular playground equipment towers from the Jukebox range for children from six to 12 years.

Playdale sales director, Barry Leahey, said: “We are delighted to be working with The Caravan Club and have already embarked on the first sites. As with all projects, we work to the highest standards of design innovation, quality, service and above all safety, and will be bringing these principles to bear in the work we undertake for The Caravan Club.”
