ABOUT US
Over 25 Years’ Experience in the Sports Industry
Established in 1997, Sportsafe UK Ltd is a trusted nationwide provider of sports, fitness and play equipment services. We deliver comprehensive solutions including equipment supply, installation, inspection, servicing, maintenance and ongoing compliance support, helping organisations maintain safe, operational and fully compliant facilities.
Today, Sportsafe supports more than 10,000 customers across Great Britain, working with schools, colleges, universities, local authorities, leisure providers and public sector organisations, including the NHS, emergency services, HM Prison Service and Ministry of Defence. Our experience spans education, government, leisure and commercial environments, enabling us to understand the differing operational requirements across sectors.
What began as a small two-person business has developed into a nationwide organisation employing over 60 dedicated staff members. With our Head Office in Colchester, regional offices in Wigan and Cumbernauld, and strategically located engineer hubs across the UK, we provide responsive local support backed by national coverage.
Our directly employed inspectors, engineers and specialist teams deliver a complete lifecycle service — from new installations and refurbishment projects through to routine inspections, servicing, repairs and remedial works. Through electronic reporting systems and efficient quotation processes, we help customers manage risk, maintain compliance and extend equipment lifespan.
