THE LATEST NEWS FROM SAPCA AND ITS MEMBERS


SAPCA is focusing on promoting its member companies abroad and SAPCA members will again attend the FSB show in Cologne later this year British sports facility companies urged to look overseas


Over the years, British manufacturers, designers and contractors of sports facilities have shown they can compete on the world stage. Keen to develop this exporting expertise further, SAPCA has invited Paul Langford of TigerTurf to join its board with the remit of helping companies with limited export experience to take the first steps. This links well with UK Trade &


Investment (UKTI), which has, historically, focused on only working with exporters involved in the delivery of major sports events. It is now broadening its strategy to encourage UK companies that are involved in sports facility construction and development at any level to consider the opportunities abroad. SAPCA has recently been reaccredited by UKTI as a Trade Challenge Partner, and


will be working more closely with UKTI in the future. It has created a new Export Group within the membership and will start by producing an export strategy. FSB showcases the latest trends within the games, sport, swimming pools and amenities industry. Held every two years, the show will
