What Doe Sport does

Doe Sport (North) Limited is a UK sports surface construction contractor founded in 1996 and headquartered in Methil, Fife, Scotland, with a regional office in Alvechurch, Worcestershire. The company designs and builds synthetic and artificial grass sports facilities across six sport verticals: outdoor and indoor tennis, football and rugby synthetic pitches, hockey fields, multi-use games areas (MUGAs), padel courts, and pickleball courts. Its technology stack is industrial rather than digital — proprietary branded surface systems (DOE CASOLON, TROJAN, OLYMPUS, MONO PRO, VICEROY, VISCOUNT, FRENCH-COURT, DOE Artificial Clay) layered with exclusive UK/Scotland installation rights for third-party products including GreenSet Grand Prix acrylic, Tennitop Ace polymeric, and FieldTurf Optimum turf. The business operates a multi-disciplinary in-house team of surveyors, engineers, and construction managers that delivers full design-and-build packages or individual project elements, supported by recurring annual maintenance contracts. Customers span professional football clubs, local authorities, community trusts, mid-market tennis clubs, and private residential clients; project values range from bespoke single-court residential installations to full-size FIFA-certified 3G pitches and multi-court complexes. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based following free site surveys, with no publicly disclosed price list. Distribution is direct field sales supported by referral pipelines through the LTA, Tennis Scotland, SAPCA, Sport England, and sportscotland, and increasingly through channel partners including Game4Padel and Clubspark for smart-access-enabled padel and tennis venues.
