About Us

A space of increased safety and inclusion for the smaller guests.

We turn ordinary spaces into extraordinary play destinations that families love and businesses profit from. Whether it’s a leisure centre, holiday park, trampoline facility, or farm attraction, we design, manufacture, and install indoor play equipment that gets customers through the door and keeps them coming back for more.

Our work speaks for itself. We’ve built everything from Strike Arenas at GLL’s flagship leisure centres to soft play installations at Monkeytown sites across Europe. We’ve delivered ninja courses for Total Ninja in South Africa, competitive play zones for Ko Jump, and trampoline integrations across multiple Altitude locations in North America and Flying Squirrel sites in Canada. Each project is different, each space unique, and that’s exactly how we like it.

But we don’t just install and disappear. Our maintenance and cleaning services ensure your equipment stays safe, spotless, and revenue-generating long after opening day. From concept to completion and beyond, we’re with you every step of the way—creating play spaces that work as hard as you do.

Hi, I’m Elliott...

The Play Company was set up by my Dad Adrian back in 1998 as a Play Area cleaning and maintenance company. From there, he grew the business to become the UK’s leader in that space.

These days, we do a lot more than just maintenance and cleaning, so whether you’re after a play area design or installation, outdoor play area structures or a range of products suitable for your play area, you can find them here.

Back in 2015, my business partner Guy and I took over the business, and we’ve got lofty ambitions – to make the play area industry safer, cleaner, more profitable and more enjoyable for owners, employees, parents and children.
