Nick takes the helm at Replay Maintenance as group’s expansion continues
Nick Harris has been appointed the Managing Director of synthetic sports surface specialists, Replay Maintenance.
In the nine years since he joined the East Midlands based firm, he has played a key role the company's growth and development. It expanded the range of services its dedicated team provides, and following the addition of key personnel to its senior leadership team and the acquisition of a software partner, has developed a technologically-advanced facility and asset management platform, Passport 365.
Group CEO, Garry Martin, says Nick's customer-focussed approach has been instrumental to the company's recent success. "Replay is a service company and Nick is absolutely committed to the needs of our customers. That has never been more important than it is right now, with sport and recreation at all levels in our communities in high demand following the winter lockdown. Nick and his dedicated staff are working tirelessly, in collaboration with other sports industry stakeholders, to help clubs, local authorities and educational establishments bounce back. They can rely on us to keep facilities safe, professionally maintained, and ready for play."
The company is also looking to build on its success, with recruitment underway for new skilled operatives and an investment of more than £250,000 in new machinery and equipment this year.
"It's a demanding time to be taking the lead," Nick acknowledges. "We have a huge role to play in helping people resume the sports and activities they've missed and in getting the nation active again. To ensure we meet the challenges ahead, we're growing and developing our staff, fleet and range of services, and driving efficiencies through the creation of regional depots and the use of the Passport 365 software.
"We're an ambitious team, and I'm excited about our future plans. Over the past 20 years, Replay has amassed a huge amount of knowledge and expertise, not only about the way surfaces are maintained but also how facilities are managed. Passport 365 has streamlined asset management, using real-time data to aid decision-making and providing operators with a constant overview. It's a service which continues to evolve, and one that will bring significant benefits to our customers in the coming years."
The Replay group is set to announce further developments in the UK and overseas this summer.
