A company that provides synthetic sports pitches for Premiership football clubs has moved its head office and warehouse into Redditch, in a property deal sealed by chartered surveyors John Truslove.
Bradleys Surfacing Systems Ltd, originally based in nearby Rowney Green, has relocated to the 1,648 sq ft premises at 81 Heming Road in Washford so it can build better office and storage facilities as it expands its business nationwide.
The company, which employs six staff, supplies and installs everything from tennis court surfaces in private gardens to synthetic training pitches for professional football clubs, with a portfolio including projects at Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth FCs.
Ben Truslove, a director at John Truslove, said: “We were pleased to help Bradleys Surfacing Systems find the base it needed to accommodate its expanding business.
“The Heming Road premises are smart buildings that are well-constructed, an important aspect for the company as it wants to pitch itself right to existing and new customers.”
Tom Bradley launched Bradleys Surfacing Systems with his father, Ray Bradley, six years ago, and Tom is now managing director at the company.
He said: “We’re really pleased with the building that John Truslove has found for us as it provides us with a more professional setting for our fast-growing business.”
The Bradley family is originally from Lincolnshire, but Tom moved to the West Midlands with his job at another sports surfacing company, and decided on the region as the base for launching his own company with his father in 2012.
He added: “Redditch is a great location for the local motorway network, which was an important consideration for us as our work is all over the country.”
John Truslove arranged the rental for Bradleys Surfacing Systems with a private landlord, quoting rental of £10,500 per year.
