Timberplay has won the prestigious Best Supplier award at the 2019
NFAN Conference, held in Edinburgh.
They fought off competition from many other suppliers to win the
award, and were doubly thrilled as this was the second win in as many years.
The award was presented to Timberplay as a result of the ambitious
waterplay facility, H2Odds, installed at Odds Farm Park in Spring 2018. This
jaw-dropping installation also came within a whisker of winning the Innovation
Award, instead receiving the runner up, Highly Commended award.
Odds Farm Park have worked with Timberplay over the past six
years, enhancing their play facilities year on year. Working in collaboration
with Odds Farm, Timberplay created designs for a water play facility unlike any
other, incorporating 500m² of water play, 80m of channels streams and pools and
28 distinct play features including locks, dams, the Archimedes Screw and
Waterscoop Wheel. This challenging play installation delivers an immersive
water play experience and was a great hit with visitors over the Summer.
Ben Harbottle, Sales Director at Timberplay comments: “We were so
thrilled to win this award, particularly as it was for the second year. The
entire Timberplay team pulled out all the stops to deliver the new play
facility and it was great to receive recognition for all their efforts.
We enjoy a very good working relationship with Odds Farm Park.
They are very ambitious in their ideas and we enjoy working on their
challenging briefs to deliver creative play solutions to exceed their
expectations. We would like to extend our thanks to the Odds team and we look
forward to seeing what they will do next.”

the Timberplay win: “This is a second time win for Timberplay and the judges
were impressed by the product quality, the innovative use of natural materials,
and the way they support their customers throughout installation and beyond.”
