The Problem A Premier League team and household name around the world, Manchester City F.C. is one of the big dogs in the football world. With such status and skill there comes the ultimate in training facilities, with the jaw-dropping Ethihad Campus opening its doors back in 2014. 16 football pitches, 7 swimming pools and 3 state of the art gymnasiums? As if you even had to ask…   The Solution It goes without saying that this sleek facility needed safety column padding of the highest caliber to ensure its prized players were training in a safe environment. When training so intensively and at such a high level, the chances of injury are much higher without the additional threat of corners and hard surfaces surrounding the pitch.   The Result After an exciting visit to the Central Training Facility in Manchester to record precise measurements, Safety Pads UK designed a total of 80 column safety pads with cut-out sections and velcro fastenings for easy removal. Produced in the navy blue hue of the Manchester City F.C.’s emblem, we’re proud to say these column safety pads looked a true part of the team.

Twice a week, the Noah’s Ark Mum & Toddler Group meets in St. Andrew’s Church, Plymouth. As many as 30 children enjoy an hour or two of stories, singing, and socialising whilst the parents steal a precious moment to enjoy a well-earned cup of tea and a homemade cake.   The Problem The spacious church hall is perfect for the gatherings with plenty of room for toys, youngsters and parents. However, large wooden columns dotted around the church were a potential danger for the energetic attendees, with bumped heads, knocked knees and tears simply inevitable if the pillars’ hard corners were left uncovered.   The Solution Now the children of Noah’s Ark Mum & Toddler Group play safely with 6 made-to-measure column protectors of the highest quality: Velcro fastenings make the protectors easily removable after the the group session Easy clean wipeable covers for hygiene purposes Colourful red, green and blue colours provide additional visual stimulation for children learning about colours.   The Results “The Health and Safety advisor is very happy that the risk of toddlers falling against sharp corners at Noahs Ark playgroup has effectively been negated. Mums and the playgroup staff think the pads are a fantastic plus too – knowing the kids are not going to run into or fall onto hard pillars gives a certain peace of mind.From an ease point of view, the ability to fit and remove the column protectors is so easy, and the material is easy to clean too. We use the pads for 2 -3 hours, twice a week – and other playgroups also use them. They’re not abused or mistreated, but sometimes rough play comes into the equation – but the pads show no sign of wear or damage. Fantastic!”– Mike Allan, representative of Noah’s Ark Mum & Toddler Group

When the Snozone team contacted us about their indoor snow slopes, we grabbed our woolly hats and scarves and headed straight over to find out how we could help.   About Snozone Snozone is the UK’s leading centre for indoor skiing, sledging and snowboarding on real snow, with lengthy 170m slopes and dedicated coaching slopes at both the Castleford and Milton Keynes centres.   The Problem With thousands of visitors whizzing down the slopes every week, Snozone needed to make sure that their safety pads were up to scratch. Not only did these custom-size pads need to be of the highest standard to prevent Snozone’s staff and clients from injuring themselves when doing their thing on the slopes, they had to be visible against the bright white snow.   The Solution The Safety Pads team designed and created 48 custom-sized, eye-catching and on-brand safety pads, column protectors and post protectors in Snozone’s signature bright green colour.   The Results “Working with the Safety Pads team was absolutely fantastic. They visited us on site, listened to our thoughts and produced quality products which protect our clients and look great. They met all health and safety regulations, matched the vibrant green of our company branding, and installed it all too. Great job!”– The Snozone Team
