Setter Ltd

General information

Setter Play has manufactured play equipment, outdoor classrooms and canopies from North Hertfordshire and Central Bedfordshire for the past 17 years. The company started when our Managing Director, Jonathan, put his woodwork skills to the test to provide a back-garden play area for his children. With that first playground a resounding success amongst the kids in the neighbourhood, Setter Play was formed and we haven’t looked back since.

When word about Setter spread amongst schools and private customers alike, we went to British Standard to ensure we complied with the highest of standards. With that confirmed, Setter Play began to distribute and build our equipment nationwide. From supplying private and LEA schools, to country parks, to corporate shelters for Go Ape, our bespoke and custom services means we have happy customers across the country.

In the time since our founding we have developed our understanding of what both children and adults really want from a playground. We have developed play ranges that break the traditions of conventional playgrounds in order to provide real excitement for kids, as well as equipment that serves to help develop children’s decision-making, risk-taking, and fine motor skills.

We have always done our bit to support the local economy; 70% of our suppliers operate within 10 miles of our base, and we have always employed locally. We also reinvest in charitable causes, from kit-sponsorship for local rugby teams to regularly donating towards community events.

2015 promises to be an exciting year. With what appears to be the worst of the recession behind us, we have a multitude of ideas we plan on rolling out, that will keep Setter Play at the forefront of outdoor leisure and play.
