Record RSS was created in January 2007 by the merger of two well established and well respected companies, Record Playgrounds (established in 1968) and Recreational Supply Services Ltd (established 1987) to create the third largest playground company in the UK.

Record Playgrounds based in Selby in Yorkshire has a proven reputation for manufacturing high quality and extremely durable equipment whilst RSS based in Wraysbury near Staines is well known for its innovative products and high quality service based around its long experience in installation, inspection and maintenance.

In addition to improved national coverage, bringing the two companies together provides significant commercial benefits, with improved manufacturing and product development capability and a national sales and after sales service providing broader exposure and a more professional and personal service to all its customers.

We produce a full range of play equipment including Trailblazers, Multi-units, Swings, Springers, Orbitors, Cableriders, Net Mountains and Playground Furniture which we provide on a design and build or supply only basis.
We also specialise in maintenance and repair, and can tailor a maintenance programme to a customer’s needs.

We provide a free design service offering customers a complete turnkey package for the supply and installation of equipment, safer surfacing, landscaping and fencing.

The operation of Record RSS is based on a vast fund of technical experience in play equipment design, manufacture, installation, maintenance and repair.
