Reflecting on another successful install, BLK BOX founder Greg Bradley, said: “It’s a privilege for us to have designed and built this high performance facility at Cardiff Met. This partnership underscores BLK BOX’s commitment to fostering excellence in sports performance and education.
“From the initial discussions through to the building phase, we've aimed to create more than just a gym; it's a dynamic space where athletes can excel.
“We can’t wait for the students to start using the facility, which will no doubt help develop the stars of the future.”

Cardiff Met’s assistant director of sport and business development, Daniel Gomm, said: “The Archers Performance Centre will not only benefit our students on high-performance programmes – we’re already fielding interest from international sports teams and National Governing Bodies.
“This facility will provide a return on investment that we can use to bring benefits to our wider sporting community.”

LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY
"For Powerbase, we aimed to collaborate with specialists in various areas, and BLK BOX emerged as the clear choice in the tender process for several reasons. Their extensive expertise in the performance market, coupled with their ability to glean insights from their work in other sectors, greatly benefits us.
While we were confident in our needs for the facility, partnering with a team that offered solutions and an agile engineering approach proved pivotal. We have tangible examples of innovation and collaboration in this facility, such as tailored accessible storage solutions designed to accommodate the mezzanine's pillars.”
