The Brent Primary School, Kent

Our visit to Brent Primary School was met with enthusiasm from the Head Teacher and Kieran Shepherd (deputy estates manager)

They had an area that had old tyres in place and wanted ides to cater for the whole school that included problem solving and exercise.

Here’s what the Deputy Estates Manager said:

The school’s trim trail had begun to show its age after being in situ for nearly 20 years, we contacted companies we had previously used, however I had recently seen some very positive posts on LinkedIn regarding an install at one of Leigh Academies Trust’s school, so I got in touch with ESP. I was quickly put in touch with Jason who promptly arranged a site visit. During his visit, Jason clearly showed fantastic knowledge and understanding of what the school required and took note of all that the headteacher wanted to achieve. Very quickly we received quotations and 3D designs that were excellent. It’s not very often that a company will go to these lengths; you’re usually left guessing what the install will look like, but not with ESP!

The time frame for the project was rather short notice, but this was accommodated without any issue – another win! ESP arrived early on site on the project start date and started offloading their equipment, the team were polite and seemed keen to get started. Removing the old trim trail in mere hours, it was smooth sailing with the install being completed by day 3. The team left the site tidy and the quality is perfect with the school’s children beyond excited to try it out.

All in all, our experience with ESP started on a very high note on-site through design, which was refreshing and despite the minor issues I would look to use ESP again on our future playground developments.
