Glasgow firm left 'floored' with requests from Hollywood

A Glasgow-based firm has been "floored" with requests from global film and TV productions.

Sprung Gym Flooring has been asked to supply floors for the sets of three major productions.

They are Mr Loverman, Mutiny, starring Jason Statham, and The Woman in Cabin 10, starring Keira Knightley.

Sprung has supplied a sprint track for Mutiny, rubber gym flooring rolls for The Woman in Cabin 10 and is set to supply tatami mats for Mr Loverman.

The firm offers a range of products, including commercial and home gym flooring, sports mats, sports floors, tiles, and FIFA-approved outdoor artificial turf.

Their work extends beyond film sets, as they also floor schools, nurseries, and hotels.

Their floors are installed at Manchester United’s training facilities, branches of Soho House, and several venues at the last Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow.

Richard McKay, managing director, said: "Glasgow’s starring role as a production centre for the global film industry is exciting not just for the people of the city, who get to see their hometown portrayed in different guises on the big screen, but for local businesses, who can really benefit from the big productions that are filmed here.

"From supplying flooring for gyms to seeing our products as part of the sets for movies that will be seen around the world has been surreal but fascinating for our team, which is based in the Hillington area of the city.

"We hope to see a great many more big-name movies being filmed in Glasgow in the future, creating jobs and revenue for local businesses."
