According to Russell Leisure’s Alasdair Wellwood, the co-operation with Time Circles is “the perfect fit for a company with an ever-expanding range of natural play products that are landscape- and architecturally-friendly”. He says: “Our IOG SALTEX display should prove an amazing attraction among the play exhibits – not only because of the mini Stonehenge and our other natural play products on show, but also because we are introducing the new and innovative Cosmo Rope range, new roundabouts and see-saws .” These, he says, will complement the examples on show from the company’s existing range of playground equipment, ball courts and skate ramps, for example, designed for children between three and 14 years. “We’re convinced that our partnership agreement with Dominic Roper’s Time Circles gives us an unrivalled competitive edge in the natural play market, an area that is proving increasingly popular for us in a year which sees the Government’s £225 million Children’s Plan play investment programme underway.”
