Elevate Sports were selected to support the URC/BKT develop a new community sports Power Zone facility for Kenfig Hill RFC.
Drawing on the long standing expertise of Elevate Sports, the project team sought responsibility for the development of an appropriate scope of works to ensure the ground and base works were delivered in accordance with recognised industry standards.
As an integral part of the project team, representing the URC/BKT, Elevate Sports worked with club representatives and specialist contractors to ensure a successful project outcome.
"Jason, we wanted to say a massive thanks to you for all your work on the Power Zone – we truly couldn’t have done it without you!
We had an amazing launch event yesterday with loads of people from around Kenfig, the URC team as well as our BKT clients all the way from Italy"
Mike Scott, Project Manager, Havas Play
Working in partnership with Phil Greenaway Consultancy Ltd (PGC), Elevate Sports were commissioned by Cinderford RFC to provide specialist sports facility consultancy services.
The club had long planned to improve the facilities at their Beavis Memorial Ground and phase 1 of the development is the conversion of the stadium match pitch to a new Artificial Grass Pitch (AGP).
The new AGP will comply with the World Rugby (WR) regulation 22 requirements for such pitches to ensure optimum safety and performance for the players. In collaboration with PGC, an initial design brief was developed along with a considered development strategy to ensure the club gets exactly what it wants and needs.
Further, planning support was added, a select list of capable contractors were shortlisted, tender enquiries issued and assessed, interviews conducted and a preferred contractor partner appointed.
Ongoing support to the club through the contractor appointment phase, and site progress meetings are all part of the services offered.
Many sports clubs I know would describe themselves as asset rich. They would also describe themselves as cash poor. Therefore the development of new and improved facilities for their club is often hamstrung by the lack of available finances of their own and an over-reliance on grants from Sports Governing Bodies and others.
Elevate Sports is working with sports clubs across the country to rethink the way sports club estates are developed and managed to bring much needed capital where it is needed most.
Significant capital receipts are being generated for sports clubs with our unique model, capitol with which to reinvest in their existing site or relocate to larger and higher quality facilities. One example is a rugby club where a traditional housing developer had offered the club £1.2M for their land in a relocation deal. With our model we are able to offer £5M for the same parcel of land. This positively influences the scale, specification and quantity of new facilities this club can now enjoy.
Speak with us to learn more about how your club could benefit significantly from creative solutions to development and site management. We are not developers. We are fresh thinkers with the right partners to work with you to help secure a future for your club which could change your club's game forever.
Live projects currently being worked on for sports clubs in Warwickshire, Gloucestershire x 2, Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent and Berkshire.
