Project Overview

Clients & Event: Premiership Football Club, UK
Location: West Midlands, UK
Install Date:July 2026
Coverage Area: 350 EuroMats of temporary car park infrastructure
Challenge: Installing a semi-permanent EuroMat car park ahead of pre-season team return


The Challenge

The client had no dedicated space to accommodate additional car parking, but urgently needed extra capacity to support the return of its playing squads for pre-season. This included the club’s women’s team, who had recently turned professional and were now based on site more frequently during normal working hours – increasing daily demand on the car park well beyond what existing provision could support.

The work needed to be planned and delivered within a tight window to be ready in time for the squads’ return, without disrupting day-to-day operations at a live, in-use training facility.


Our Solution

The Box Group deployed a comprehensive temporary road system combining two specialised products:

  • Ground Protection: 350 EuroMat HDPE panels were supplied and installed to create a new, semi-permanent car park, extending capacity on an area of the site that previously offered none.
  • Full Install & Project Management: The Box Group managed the project end-to-end from initial planning and delivery through to installation – with a 9-strong crew completing the works in a single morning.
  • Clear Communication: Early and thorough communication with the client’s facilities team ensured the necessary arrangements were in place well ahead of installation, keeping the project on schedule.

Outcome

  • A new semi-permanent car park was delivered in time for preseason, giving the club reliable additional parking capacity for the foreseeable future.
  • Installation was completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to the working training ground.
  • The site was left clean and tidy on completion, with the crew working professionally throughout.
  • The additional capacity now supports the daily return of both the men’s and newly professional women’s squads to the site.

Technical Innovation

This project showcased The Box Group’s ability to adapt standard installation techniques for unique event setups and environments. The panel configuration required:

  • Highly skilled operators familiar with alternative installation methods
  • Specialised training for local crew members
  • Real-time problem-solving for panel alignment challenges
  • Innovative approaches to working within regulatory constraints

Client Feedback

Communication at the start of the project was excellent, allowing us to put the necessary arrangements in place ahead of the required timescales  particularly important given the additional parking capacity needed for our teams’ preseason return. From delivery through to installation, the work was completed efficiently and with minimal disruption, and the area
was left clean and tidy on completion. We were very pleased with both the service and the finished result.”
