Result for Sash at Football Club

There’s been new developments at the Bamber Bridge Football Club over the summer, ready for the new season to start. Resplendent in the club’s distinctive colour scheme of black and white, Fitrite fencing from Sash UK is making a welcome debut.

The fencing has been installed around the pitch at Irongate, home to Bamber Bridge. For suppliers and installers, Lakeland Verandahs, the location couldn’t have been more prominent, particularly considering it was the first Fitrite installation job for the company, a family run business with more than 40 years experience of supplying and installing maintenance free home improvement products.

“We felt the economic climate and timing was right to enter the fencing and decking market, and the contract with Bamber Bridge proves that it was the right move,” comments Russell Milburn, former player at the club and now Managing Director of Lakeland Verandahs. “We took the decision to work exclusively with the Fitrite range simply because of its superior quality and for its broad potential in terms of colour.”

Colour was a deciding factor in the specification of the Fitrite at Bamber Bridge. The club’s chairman, Terry Gammons chose the fencing to match the club’s familiar black and white strip, with white handrails and spindles contrasting with the black posts. Aesthetically, the result is stunning but the value of the fencing offers much more. “Fitrite fencing significantly outperforms other fencing materials with its strength,” continues Russell. “Twenty-two men kicking a ball against the spindles on a weekly basis would cause damage to any other material but the Fitrite stands up to the challenge as the formulation of the fencing posts and rails uses galvanised steel and high-strength PVCu internal supports.”

In addition there is no need to worry about maintenance, a distinct bonus for overworked groundsmen. Because it is wood free, it does not rot or peel or flake, so there will never be any need for repainting or touching up. It is also 100% recyclable and contains no toxic chemicals.

“We are delighted with the result and so is the Bamber Bridge Football Club,” concludes Russell. “The product allows the club to comply with the latest regulations stipulating separation between stand and pitch with an aesthetically stunning yet practical solution, all down to the Fitrite fencing!”
