Kingswood – Soapbox 18

Kingswood Design (UK) is a business based in Ashby, specialising in creating bespoke kitchens. When they learned about the soapbox event, they eagerly seized the opportunity, sparking lots of excitement in the workshop.


Driving the team is Paul, team leader & cart builder.

Supported by Matt as both pusher and cart builder

Elliot driver & cart builder

Riley & Conner both pushers

and Amanda, the brains of the operation!


Utilizing their machinery to design and construct their creations, they collaborated with a local business to weld the main chassis. 


When asked to produce the event's ramp, they wasted no time and crafted a prototype the same day, giving birth to the Kingswood Kicker. Connor rigorously tested the ramp using his bike.


Racing for The British Heart Foundation in honor of Paul's father, the team is all set for the event.
