LODDON-BASED sports court business B&T Pool and Court Surfacing has claimed a national industry award.
Tony and Brooke Bellenger, of Murphy’s Creek, have seen their business named winners of the surfacing: commercial sports courts – acrylic division at the Sports and Play Industry Association awards.
They started the business surfacing netball and tennis courts, toilets and swimming pools 12 years ago.
Using Plexipave and Rebound Ace sports surfacing products, the local business last year put a new surface on tennis courts at Woodstock after the club received a Loddon Shire community grant.
Tony, who previously worked for the shire in sport and recreation, said the award was for work at Bendigo Tennis Centre.
“We’ll be out working seven days a week as soon as the sun is out. We’ve 40 courts to do and also swimming pools before summer.”
Tony said he first saw the demand for court resurfacing when working for council.
“We still live on the farm but these days, with Andrew Perryman, we’re out on the road pretty much all the time,” said.
