History Of Ventur Play Designs

The company was set up in 1995 by its present three directors, who all brought a different range of experience into the equation.

Gordon Bendall came from a background of senior posts in Local Government Leisure Departments and the successful formation and running of Bendcrete Climbing Walls, an internationally renowned indoor climbing wall company. He has now expanded those activities into the formation of an innovative skate park arm of the company. 

Peter Debbage also had a long career in senior posts in Local Government landscape design departments before he took his acquired specialist knowledge of children's play area design into the private sector. This expertise, combined with a long leisure-time dedication to climbing, resulted in the ensuing partnership with Bendcrete Climbing Walls to produce our unique simulated rock product Playrock. He is now responsible for all design and marketing activities of the company.

Joe Watson took over the running of the thirty year old family landscape business, Cotswold Estate Services Limited, in the early nineties, after a background in mechanical engineering including a Cambridge degree. He is now responsible for the contract management of Venturplay projects, which are largely built by the Cotswold Estate Services manpower.
