“For anyone seeking to make new childrens’ play areas then all we can say is “look no further than Mant Leisure”.  When we were planning to replace the old 1950’s equipment, Charles help and advice was first class.  From the first time we met him, his enthusiasm shone through and his knowledge of the equipment, all safety requirements etc. gave us the guidance we were seeking and with his up-to-date modern approach he advised of what children of today would be looking for, and also at the same time giving them all the physical challenges needed within play .  Consequently now we have a play park to be proud of. We are having people come from all surrounding areas to enjoy our facilities, and never has the park been so full of families with picnics – which has given the Parish Council a great sense of achievement. Parents are also so happy to see their children actively enjoying themselves, and the only problem is trying to get them out of the park and home in time for tea or bed !!

And of course following on from our first play park, because we were so pleased with it we returned to Charles to help, design and create our smaller toddlers play area in another part of the village.”

“I have known Charles Mant for many years and through him, whilst working for two town Councils, have purchased play equipment and a pavilion. He is a reliable and realistic ‘salesman’ who I worked closely with on a number of projects to deliver each on time following due procedure on tender process and funding sources; and I also wish to commend his after sales service.

I will continue to consult Charles whenever the Council wish to look at replacement or additional play equipment for our park.”

Don Bent
Clerk to Okehampton Town Council

“Northway Parish Council (and formerly Ashchurch Parish Council) have been associated with Charles for more years than I have been a Clerk.  

Charles was very involved in the design of a  skate park that was installed in the Parish, probably 18 years ago, which is still going strong! 

Through out that time, Charles has always made himself available to discuss any changes required and has been quick to respond to queries In more recent years Charles has been supplying the Parish Council with very substantial litter bins, benches, fencing and noticeboards.  One of the pleasures of working with Charles is that he doesn’t need to do high pressure selling, his goods and reputation speak for themselves.

In this day and age where everything is so impersonal and computer generated it is so good to find a friendly voice at the end of the phone or alternatively a rapid response to an email.  I cannot recommend Charles and his team strongly enough.”
