The Aston Villa Project: An Overview

Aston Villa F.C. is one of the oldest football clubs in the UK, a premier league club founded in 1874. We were delighted to collaborate with O’Brien Contractors in the construction of the Bodymoor Health Training Academy site, which is now one of the finest training facilities in the UK sports industry. We were thrilled to provide not just one, but three GRP buildings for the project! 

We were first contacted by O’Brien Contractors regarding the construction of gatehouses for welfare purposes. Our design team worked hard to design and manufacture gatehouses with a layout in accordance with the unique needs of a top-tier football facility whilst maintaining security.

The Aston Villa Gatehouse: A Closer Look

Like all of our projects, these gatehouses were designed with quality in mind. Two was designed as stylish gatehouse’s, the third building is a versatile two-section unit, serving not just as an amenity block but as a catering facility too. The bespoke gatehouses and buildings were finished externally with UV-protected cedar wood.
