Leicestershire County Cricket Club Celebrates Abacus Flooring Solutions’ King’s Award for Innovation

Leicestershire County Cricket Club proudly celebrates one of its principal partners and stand sponsors, Abacus Flooring Solutions, who have been awarded the prestigious King’s Award for Innovation.

The honour recognises Abacus’s groundbreaking development of Abaplas “ a sustainable, high-performance resin flooring solution created using 100% recycled plastic waste. This British-made innovation is not only transforming industrial and commercial environments across the UK but is also playing a role in modernising Grace Road, where Abaplas has been installed in the Abacus Flooring Solutions Stand.

Sean Jarvis, CEO of Leicestershire County Cricket Club, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to see Abacus Flooring Solutions receive this outstanding recognition. As one of our key sponsors and a valued part of the Leicestershire cricket family, their commitment to innovation and sustainability mirrors our own values as a club. The installation of Abaplas at Grace Road has brought quality and environmental consciousness to our facilities “ a partnership we are immensely proud of.”

Nick Megson, Founder and Managing Director of Abacus Flooring Solutions, added: “We’re incredibly proud to receive a King’s Award for Innovation. Abaplas was born from a drive to make resin flooring more sustainable without compromising performance. Having it installed at Grace Road as part of our relationship with LCCC is a milestone moment for us “ and shows that innovation can thrive in local partnerships.”

Abaplas transforms post-consumer plastic into a durable, hygienic resin flooring system. Designed to meet the most demanding industrial standards, it’s already used in sectors such as aerospace, food manufacturing, healthcare, and education “ and now forms a core part of the infrastructure at Leicestershire’s cricketing home.

As the only business in Loughborough to be recognised with a King’s Award this year, Abacus Flooring Solutions exemplifies the kind of homegrown ingenuity and environmental responsibility that Leicestershire County Cricket Club is proud to support and showcase.
