Some Useful Facts About Batter Rides Ltd....

Stanley Reeves Jnr (Business Owner) is a member of The Showmen’s Guild of Great Britain; the British trade organisation for Funfair and Amusements operators.

We carry full Public Liability Insurance up to the sum of £10,000,000.00 (ten million) for each individual attraction. Copies of certification are available  upon request.

In addition to the daily checks and maintenance carried out by our own experts, each attraction must pass an annual safety and electrical compliance test by an ADIPS* engineer. Once the attraction has been thoroughly examined and found to comply with health and safety regulations as required by “Fairgrounds & Amusement Parks - Guidance on Safe Practice HSG 175”, the appropriate certificates are issued. Copies of certification are available to our clients upon request.  More information regarding health & safety can be found on our “Safety Standards” page.
