Sustainability guides how we build, from responsibly sourced Nordic pine to long-lasting design and continuous improvement of our environmental impact. Our ambition is bold: to strengthen the heartbeat of one billion people by 2030.
Lappset – Movement for every heartbeat.
Playworld exists to unite communities through innovative and authentic play, creating equal play opportunities for all. Playworld dedicates itself to craftsmanship, innovation and inclusive design, instilling optimism that unites communities on common ground -- the playground.
Through creativity, innovation, and conviction, Sutcliffe Play produces play spaces and equipment that create lifelong memories – because no one ever forgets their favourite playground.
We are an innovative global business - designing and manufacturing in the UK, and exporting worldwide. But we’re also 100% unique in our sector: as Britain’s first and only employee-owned play company, we’re proud of the fact that when you pick up the phone to us, you won’t just be speaking to an employee, but an owner. That means we all have a vested interest in delivering total quality – we all benefit from our success, so we all work hard to achieve it.
Our robust products are all made in Britain, from metal, wood, and other natural materials. With our design and manufacturing capabilities, here in our own factory in the beating heart of Yorkshire, England, we bring play ideas to life from the simplest sketch.
We design to encourage creativity, leaving as much as possible to children’s imaginations, and encourage our design team to build in an element of risk, always ensuring a stimulating, challenging experience – because child’s play is a serious business.
We believe passionately in inclusive play, giving ALL children the right to share in the timeless joy of a great play experience, and the many benefits it brings: physical health, heightened learning, social development - and for parents: community cohesion and regeneration.
Above all, at Sutcliffe Play we are guided always by four words which sum up the essence of childhood - play for play’s sake.
