We are thrilled to announce that, through the generosity of our members, we raised £210 for our charity of the year, The Devon Clinic. The funds will go towards supporting the vital work the clinic does for individuals and families across Devon.

Our Christmas lunch was not only a time to enjoy a delicious meal and festive treats but also a wonderful opportunity for members to connect, network, and strengthen relationships within our business community. Many members highlighted the importance of these connections as the real value of G12, alongside the fun and festive atmosphere of the event.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped make this Christmas lunch memorable. Your support demonstrates the spirit of giving and community that G12 Business Club stands for.

We look forward to continuing our charitable efforts and networking successes into the new year – here’s to a prosperous 2026 for all our members and supporters!

Based in the charming village of Upottery, Martin has turned a passion for quality craftsmanship into a nationwide and even European enterprise.

Martin designed and built a bespoke play center to make the best use of space in our garden. He was extremely helpful and knowledgable whilst we were designing it and adapted designs based on my children’s interests. The installation was painless and my children love it. We are very happy with play center and hope it will have many years of use.

From Devon Workshop to European Gardens
While Martin and his team proudly live and work in the beautiful West Country, their stunning play centres are installed in gardens all over the UK. The demand for their high-quality, custom-made creations has even taken them across borders, proving that truly exceptional work transcends geography. Their impressive installation map includes far-flung locations like Berlin and even the sunny island of Majorca.

This far-reaching success is a testament to the quality and imagination poured into every piece they build.

Visit the Bespoke Garden Playhouse here: https://www.bespokegardenplay.co.uk/

The Bespoke Difference: Hand-Made for a Lifetime of Play
What makes a Bespoke Garden Play centre so special? It all comes down to the word “bespoke.” Unlike off-the-shelf options, every project is hand-made by Martin and his team in their East Devon workshop. This means complete control over design, materials, and safety, resulting in a piece that is both robust and beautiful.

The range is extensive, catering to every garden size and child’s dream:

• Small Play Cottages: Perfect, standalone structures for budding imaginations.
• Large Playhouse Climbing Frames: Combining the fun of a secret hideaway with active challenge.
• Multi-Platform Playcentres: These are the showstoppers, incorporating incredible features such as castles, towers, bridges, slides, and numerous activities.

Once complete, the structure is carefully transported and installed on-site in the customer’s garden. Projects often take several days to construct and perfect, a clear indication of the commitment to detail.



Favourite Moments and Famous Clients
Martin’s reputation for quality has naturally attracted a clientele looking for the very best for their children. Over the years, a number of celebrities, including well-known golfers, footballers, and TV stars, have commissioned his services to bring unique play structures to life.

Yet, for Martin, the greatest reward isn’t the prestige of the client, but the pure joy of the end result. He notes that seeing the children for the very first time on a structure he and his team have created is always a “very satisfying and thrilling moment.” That immediate, unadulterated excitement is the ultimate measure of success for Bespoke Garden Play.

Ultimately, Martin Killick and Bespoke Garden Play are not just building wooden structures; they are building childhood memories and transforming ordinary gardens into extraordinary worlds of adventure, one stunning, hand-made castle at a time
