Paintball firm targets Europe

A LEADING paintball firm based in the Capital is preparing for an expansion across the UK and into Europe.

Bedlam Group, which has been based at its South Queensferry site for 18 years, is eyeing up available sites across the country and on the continent.

The firm is planning to expand after achieving a turnover of £1.2 million and hosting more than 20,000 players at its sites in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee and Glasgow in the last year. It expects sales to rise by 40 per cent in the next 12 months.

Roman Rock, managing director of Bedlam, said: "Ideal land for use as a paintball site should include a varied terrain, with some woodland and water. Leasing such land to Bedlam can be an easy way for farmers to earn income from land unsuitable for agricultural use."
