Getting active with Gerflor
By Kate Corney
Providing fitness and well-being services for any community must be at the beating heart of most councils these days.
Sandwell's newest sport, swimming and fitness facility located in the heart of Wednesbury boasts a plethora of new facilities.
Sandwell Leisure Trust (SLT) has worked in partnership with Sandwell Council to fast-track the building of this new centre providing the people of Wednesbury and the wider community with an exciting new swimming, sport and leisure centre.
With quality top of the SLT agenda they would need the very best possible flooring for their sports hall which could deliver performance, safety and comfort.
It would be an ideal opportunity for international interiors and flooring specialist Gerflor to supply their Olympic-standard Taraflex Sport M flooring. The project would consume a healthy 340m2 of this high-performing product.
