Charles Lawrence Surfaces has undertaken the resurfacing of three pitches that were originally laid over a decade ago.

Situated at the University of York, St Neots Leisure Centre and Framlingham College in Suffolk, all in the UK, the surfaces had been in place for 12, 14 and 18 years respectively.

All three sites had the Grasshopper HF23P sand-filled surface installed, which is designed to be long-lasting as well as being suitable for a range of different sports.

The company has also been selected as the preferred contractor for the construction of both an outdoor and indoor pitch at Premier League club Aston Villa's newly rebuilt Bodymoor Health site.

The two pitches included engineered bases, shockpads and a 3G playing surface. The full-size outdoor pitch has also been independently tested and approved to FIFA's two-star standard for synthetic playing areas.
