Surrey County Cricket Club have welcomed Stadium Support Services as the Official Projects Partner at the Kia Oval, formalising a long-standing relationship built over more than a decade of working together.

Stadium Support Services has previously delivered a variety of projects across the Kia Oval, including steelwork painting, toilet refurbishments, installation of anti-slip stair treads, pest proofing and specialist cleaning. This breadth of experience gives us a strong foundation for the partnership and a clear understanding of the operational demands of a live stadium environment.

Stadium Support Services will support the Club with both reactive maintenance and project works at the Kia Oval, helping to maintain and enhance standards for players, staff and supporters throughout the season.

Scott Hudson, Managing Director at Stadium Support Services, said: “Having worked with the team at the Kia Oval for the past 10 years on an ad hoc basis, we are really pleased to formalise the partnership. We know the venue well and understand the standards expected. This next step allows us to work more closely with the club to maintain and enhance the experience for everyone who visits.”

Joseph Noble, Commercial Director at Stadium Support Services, added: “As a business that has predominantly operated across football, this partnership represents an exciting step into cricket at the highest level. The Kia Oval is an iconic venue, and we are looking forward to supporting the club with the same level of expertise, responsiveness and quality that we deliver across our wider portfolio.”

This appointment further strengthens Stadium Support Services’ growing portfolio of partnerships across major UK sporting venues, reinforcing its position as a trusted delivery partner within live stadium environments.

Jessica Stapleton, Director of Operations at Surrey County Cricket Club, added: “Stadium Support Services bring a proven track record of delivering facilities management solutions across major sporting venues. Their understanding of the unique demands of a live stadium environment has been evident in the work they have delivered at the Kia Oval, and we’re delighted to formalise this partnership as we look to build on that success.”
