A partnership to be proud of 🌱 We’re delighted to share that we've partnered with Lapage Primary School and WWF to create an exciting new outdoor space inspired by nature. The project forms part of WWF's Happy by Nature initiative, which provides funding to schools to help bring nature into…

An outtakes video with Jo Bailey? Surely not! 😂 You might think Jo is the perfect presenter whenever the camera starts rolling… but, as it turns out, she’s actually human after all! 😂 There were a few moments that didn’t quite make the final cut, so naturally, I thought you all deserved to see…

Welcome to part two of our tour around the fabulous new playground at Stafford Leys Primary School in Leicestershire. 🌳 In the final part of the tour, Jo takes us around the remaining areas of the playground, including a mud kitchen, water play, a stage and, of course, the centrepiece of the whole…

Before any playground officially opens, every piece of equipment needs to be thoroughly inspected and safety checked. It’s all part of making sure the space is ready for children to enjoy. But when the client offers to help carry out the checks themselves… 😂 Safety first, always! #ESPPlay…

After more than 20 years in the play industry, I’ve seen my fair share of playgrounds, from the traditional to the truly unique. But if budget wasn’t a consideration and I had complete creative freedom, what would my dream playground look like? What features would make the cut, and how far could I…

Behind every successful installation is a team of people keeping everything moving, and our Contract Managers play a huge part in making that happen. They’re the glue that holds each project together, overseeing the finer details and acting as the main point of contact for our customers once…

Business and sport have more in common than you might think, particularly when it comes to recruitment. Many of you will know that outside of work, I coach a football team. It’s a great way to switch off from the day-to-day running of the business and focus on something completely different. One…

While attending the official opening of Lanivet’s brand-new outdoor play area, we caught up with our customer, Bobbie, to hear about her experience working with ESP Play. Hearing directly from our customers about their experience and seeing the impact of what we deliver is always rewarding…

This year, we’ve welcomed more new faces to ESP Play than ever before, including a number of people from within our industry. As the business continues to grow, recruitment remains a priority. But what’s particularly encouraging is the number of people reaching out to me directly, wanting to…

What better way to celebrate the opening of a brand-new playground than with an open day for the local community? 🎉 To mark the launch of our latest project in Lanivet, Cornwall, we welcomed hundreds of local children to come along, explore the new play space and put it to the test. And it’s safe…

Welcome to Lanivet, Cornwall, where we’ve recently transformed the village’s outdoor play area, bringing the local history to life through play. In the first video of this series, Dean takes us on a walkthrough of the finished space, highlighting the unique features, thoughtful details and design…

Jack and I got together again recently to film some more content, and as always, things didn’t quite go to plan! 😂 Alongside the usual videos, we managed to capture some golden behind-the-scenes moments, including a rather questionable South African accent… You never quite know what you’re going…

Yesterday, we held our monthly senior leadership meeting at Crow Wood Resort & Spa, right here on our doorstep. These meetings are always a valuable opportunity to take a step back, reflect on where we are as a business and look ahead to what’s next. Each member of the team shares updates from…

This playground in Leicestershire features one seriously unique canopy… 👀 We’ve recently completed a brand-new playground at Stafford Leys Primary School, with the school’s main brief being to create an outdoor learning space that gives pupils more opportunities to explore, play and learn outside…

Sometimes, when you’re in the middle of a project, it can be difficult to picture what the finished space will look like. That’s why seeing the transformation from start to finish never gets old. These shots of Middleton Primary School’s Nursery Area, during and after installation, are a fantastic…

Welcome to part two of our in-depth tour of Middleton Primary School’s brand-new reception area. 👷 One standout feature of this transformation is something we don’t typically install in a school — a dedicated football pitch! ⚽ With the school having the space available, it was the perfect…

Welcome to an in-depth walkthrough of Middleton Primary School’s brand-new reception area. 👷 In the first instalment, we take a look at the nursery area we completed just a few months earlier, and how we designed both spaces to work together seamlessly. Although the two areas are designed for…

It’s been a fantastic journey bringing our brand-new Wild Tower range to life. When we launched the competition back in the summer, we were genuinely blown away by the response and the number of entries we received from across the country. Waycroft Academy were the lucky winners, and having now…

Recently, it feels like we blink and another month has passed. With everyone being incredibly busy, it’s easy to get caught up in what’s happening today and forget to take a step back and look at just how much we’ve achieved. Andrew recently sat down with Jack to reflect on what was another busy…

If you didn’t know by now, we absolutely love an outtakes video 😂 Our company day last week gave us the perfect opportunity to put together some of our favourite outtakes from the year so far. Enjoy! #ESPPlay #QUESTElectrical #CompanyCulture #Outtakes

Today is our annual company day, and we’re bringing the teams from both businesses together at the fantastic Crow Wood Resort & Spa here in our hometown of Burnley. These days are about much more than getting everyone in the same room. It’s a great opportunity to be open with our teams about how…

One of our favourite features that we offer! 🌈 Our rainbow canopies are designed to make a statement, and this bespoke installation at Wood Field Primary School is certainly no exception. What was once a small, unused area has been completely transformed with a simple yet vibrant addition…
