The staff and management structure remains the same, with the same ideas, goals, dreams and passion as instilled by Alan.

“Quality construction was the foundation of our business, and continues to
be the number one priority at ABS Sports Fields” Alan Berry – Founder
Another first for ABS Sports Fields, designing and constructing the first FIFA fields in Western Australia. Not just one, but two fields in one complex.
“ABS Sports Fields has a proud history as one of Australia’s premier sports surfacing companies. An agent partner of APT Asia Pacific since 1989, ABS Sports Fields has unrivalled experience in synthetic bowling green construction, with extensive references located throughout Australia and internationally. Coupled with sports field construction experience in hockey, football and other sports, ABS Sports Fields continues to set the benchmark in quality and performance” – Honorary Plaque Sports Group Asia Pacific.
Many companies in our industry focus on the surface. The Berry Family build SYSTEMS, it does not sell surfaces. The small name change has helped focus our marketing and customer understanding considerably.
The new office and warehouse in Cockburn South was opened to cope with the growing business activities in Western Australia. Enabling ABS to store equipment and stock closer to the jobs, and be able to respond to customer demands more rapidly.
In 2009, after 23 years Alan Berry lifted the playing surface and replaced it with the latest modern surface available. The base was still in a perfect condition, being Alan’s best example of his longevity of installations. Customers far and wide say that ABS Sport Surfaces constructions outlast the competitors. The proof is being played on all around Australia every day.
inevitably with the growth and diversification in our business, ABS moved to new premises, incorporating merged warehouse facilities, giving it more freedom to design, develop and stock a wider range of materials and sports surfaces.
Under the stands of the mighty MCG, ABS Sports Fields designed and built 6 purpose built practice cricket wickets that have been the envy of other cricket clubs. The measure of success of the practice wickets is that several other state organisations duplicated the ABS facility to enhance there players skills.
Alan Berry supervises the construction of the first FIFA pitch, alongside a new multi-sport pitch for Hockey, Tennis, Handball, Futsal and Physical Education. A real first in the industry that benefits the community strongly, and increases utilisation of the available resources.
Alan Berry decides to ramp up activities at ABS Sport Surfaces and increase his work force and skills base to start winning and constructing more sports fields. The initiative paid off.
After 20 years as a professional athlete, President of Hockey Australia and Olympic Team Manager, Alan Berry founded the business now know as ABS Sports Fields, constructing the synthetic hockey field at Essendon Hockey Club; today being respected by his peers and competitors as setting the standards for quality synthetic installations to be met.
