"Could you please thank your installation team for their professionalism and attention to detail Tom? They obviously take great pride in their work and were meticulous in ensuring we were left with a structure that our committee are naturally delighted with."
Steve Plenty

"Hi Tom, just a quick message for a fantastic job with the stands - absolutely over the moon with it really brings the ground alive and our ground is really starting to look like a proper football club. Can't wait to get the seated one in as well. Please pass my thanks onto all the guys involved - they have done a brilliant job - thanks again Tom."
Kevin Fryett
Redcar Athletic (March 2020 after delivery of Essentials Stand)
"Huge thanks to the guys who looked after the new barriers and a few other elements of our ground development - nothing was too much trouble for them."
Mick Hawes
Brackley Town (December 2019)
"Massive respect to Tom and his team at Sports Ground Development Ltd from everyone at Darlaston Town (1874) FC. From start to finish it has been an absolute breeze dealing with Tom, his team and his contractors in planning and erecting our floodlights. His team were punctual, tidy, effective and efficient during every stage of the process. At times they worked in the most horrendous weather conditions, never a grumble and still finished ahead of time. To be honest a few weeks after completion most of the grass has grown back and you would think the floodlights have been there for years. Great stuff from all involved."
Neil Chambers
Chairman of Darlaston Town (1874) FC (October 2019 after the installation of Floodlights)
"We are very satisfied with the work undertaken in accordance with your quotation. Despite a day lost because of rain the fitting guys worked hard and completed the task within the agreed timescale, and to our complete satisfaction. They were very attentive to the individual requirements of the customer and ready to accommodate our wishes. The product suits our needs and was supplied and fitted within budget so we are delighted with this upgrade to our senior pitch, which will I am sure meet the approval of the FA when they consider our application for promotion."
Tony Eden

The end product we are very pleased with and I think we have now got some of the best floodlights around – especially in the Southern League Division 1 Central."

"There is hard standing all around the new post and railed pitch. A new 150 seat stand has been added during the summer with I think the addition of new changing rooms as well. Floodlights are due to arrive in mid-September. The club are also preparing a new car park for 90 cars with turnstiles at that end of the ground. All in all things are looking very good for the Peterborough club as they embark on their first season in the UCL."
