This is a very exciting time for Sport at King’s. We have a strong reputation for sport in many areas and our boys and girls compete to a high level, both in and out of school. This new astroturf pitch will allow us to reach the next level of performance in hockey and many other sports besides.

Verde’s professionalism and desire for perfection in every aspect of the construction process was evident for all to see. The final product is outstanding and a joy to use.
Martyn Creeth | Deputy Head at Monkton Prep School, Bath
Back in 2012 we appointed Verde Recreo as our preferred supplier to build a new full-size sand dressed hockey pitch and a 3G rugby/football training pitch at Sidcot School. Throughout the lengthy planning process, Verde Recreo provided invaluable support in helping us achieve full planning permission in July 2014. During the construction phase, a dedicated project manager was assigned to the build and delivered the project to a high standard. We have been extremely impressed by the quality of service and works provided by Verde Recreo.
Kirstin Tringali | Operations Manager at Sidcot school
Throughout the build process Verde was efficient, approachable, flexible and we felt that we were getting both good value and tremendous support. They offered continuity of on-site personnel and management with James Jenkins keeping watch over the entire project. Verde is a first-class outfit to deal with and we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the company.
Iain McMurtry | Managing Director at Wotton Community Sports Foundation
The project was run very professionally and we were aware each week of what stage the works were at. Unforeseen issues were identified as and when and we were offered several options to overcome these issues.
