UK Export Finance (UKEF) has been working with Global Attractions to help them expand to the far corners of the earth and boost British business. A Wrexham-based manufacturer secures a £2 million export contract with UK government help, which means children in Thailand will soon be crawling over Welsh-made soft play centres.
The company’s largest ever contract is expected to help create local jobs as they build back stronger from the pandemic. Global Attractions is the latest UK company to benefit from UKEF support. Last year, UKEF provided £12.3 billion for over 550 companies, which is estimated to have supported over 100,000 UK jobs directly and in the supply chain – showing how effective UKEF is in delivering for the country.
Global Attractions, a designer, manufacturer and distributor of family entertainment units, secured the international contracts to build and export soft play centres to shopping malls in Pattaya City and Bangkok.
The company won the contracts internationally due to its high-quality British designs and expertise
coupled with a competitive financing package backed by the UK government. This builds on projects delivered for global businesses for over 25 years including McDonald’s, IKEA, KFC and Ferrari World Abu Dhabi – all from its base in Wrexham.
Its soft play centre will feature in one of Pattaya City’s largest malls, with 4 floors dedicated to family friendly activities that attract 1 million residents in the city just south of Bangkok.
