In Focus: Crown Sports Lockers & Falmouth Town AFC
Project Overview
Falmouth Town AFC play in the Southern Football league. The team play at Bickford Park – a ground which they originally built themselves in 1957. They were the first ever team in Cornwall to get through the qualifiers and reach the first round of the FA Cup in 1962/63 season.
Crown Sports Lockers (UK) Ltd were privileged to have been selected to design, manufacture and install quality wooden open football lockers, during refurbishment of the training facilities, after Falmouth AFC had seen the quality of their work whilst visiting another football club in Cornwall.
Securing the Contract
Spencer Grimwood, one of the Directors and co-owners of Crown Sports Lockers, stated: “We were initially contacted directly by Andrew Westgarth, the Manager of the First Team at Falmouth Town AFC, in September 2023.
“The actual works were commissioned at a later date, and the project was completed in July 2024. We carried out a site survey and a design consultation, also looking at several different combinations of finishes and upholstery options to match the club’s branding.”
