Boro’s Friend unveils new 3G AGP on Teesside

Middlesbrough FC (MFC) fans’ favourite

George Friend has officially opened the MFC

Foundation’s new 3G artificial grass pitch (AGP).

The popular Boro defender cut the ribbon on

the £½ million full-sized all-weather 3G pitch

at the Herlingshaw Centre in Eston, then put

a group of talented young footballers from

Chandlers Ridge Academy through their paces

on the new surface.

The project was installed by Smith

Construction (Heckington) Ltd and Dawn

Fencing Limited of Leigh – which has been

going more than 30 years and is the only

fencing contractor dedicated solely to

sports – following a £450,000 grant from

the Premier League & The FA Facilities Fund,

while Tees Valley Community Foundation

chipped in £50,000.

Smiths provided a new land drainage

system, repairs to the existing sub-base, new

fencing, floodlighting and a spectator viewing

area – and will provide on-going maintenance

of the 3G surface.

Dawn turned to sports fence systems

manufacturer Zaun, which provided its

renowned Duo8 Super Rebound sports

fencing, spectator railings and gates.

George was joined by the Deputy Mayor

for Redcar and Cleveland, Neil Bendelow, and

MFC Foundation Chair of Trustees Stewart

Smith as the newly refurbished full size

floodlit pitch was opened.

He said: ‘I love the new pitch. It’s great that

the Foundation now has such a superb facility.

It’s a professional standard, and hopefully

the local community can come and play like

professionals on it!’

MFC Foundation head Helena Pinder said:

‘We are delighted at the completion of the new

facility. It looks fantastic and we are looking

forward to opening it up to the public and local

community to use.’ 

The latest Frontier Pitts Sliding Gates

installation in Iraq

Once again, despite the threats, risks and

challenges, Frontier Pitts have successfully

delivered numerous sliding gates to the Oil

Fields of Iraq to provide high security to our

clients site.

This particular project saw the installation of

numerous LoTracker Sliding Gates which are

designed to withstand the harsh environment.

The bespoke design included sheet infill with

the latest British engineered technology,

manufactured to suit the specific site and

environmental conditions of the Basra oil fields.

Any equipment or product installed in such

hostile environments, and rigorously operated by

the Army, demonstrates the credentials of quality

and British Engineering. This is backed by product

accreditations including PSSA (Perimeter Security

Suppliers Association) Verified certification.

An ongoingmaintenance service will be provided

by the trained local agent with, support and

training from Frontier Pitts.

The exceptional success of this project

illustrates that Frontier Pitts has yet again

proven to the world that they can succeed in

any challenge. This is another opportunity that

Frontier Pitts have embraced to dominate and

stand out amongst the world of security firms.
