Entrepreneurs jump at £1m trampoline park opportunity

35 JOBS will be created following a £1m investment in a trampoline park at Liversedge.

Entrepreneurs Michael and Debbie Fitzpatrick used their savings and investments to fit out a 40,000 sq ft warehouse on Halifax Road in Liversedge.

The pair also received funding from the Business Enterprise Fun for the site, Adrenaline International.

At the park, there are 140 connected trampolines, with Prismatic light feature capabilities, as well as basketball courts, a giant air bag as well as an in house cafe.

“We’d spent so long researching and planning our dream business, that we knew it needed to jump out. The Prismatic feature is the perfect finishing touch and we wouldn’t have it without BEF’s support,” said Mrs Fitzpatrick.

“Mainstream lenders were unable to help us due to the lack of track record in this type of business, so we were over the moon when John Hall and the team at BEF were able to support us with a £30,000 loan,” she added.

Stephen Waud, chief executive at BEF, said: “We were delighted to support Adrenaline International to help achieve Debbie and Michael’s business goals. It’s fantastic to see a different concept bouncing into the Yorkshire area aimed at everyone from toddlers and teenagers, to anyone interested in fitness.

“As a social enterprise, it’s important to us to support unique businesses and creative entrepreneurs, and mainstream lenders are often unable to lend their support here.”
