Two North Yorkshire family businesses have teamed up to transform a growing padel venue.
Furniture Traders, based in Thirsk, is working with Padel Farm at Sutton-on-the-Forest, near York, to furnish a major new extension at the site.
The project includes a bar, café, offices, outdoor terrace and private hospitality space.
Josh Wilson, co-owner of Furniture Traders, said: "We love working with other independent businesses, particularly when there's a real opportunity to create something together.

"Padel Farm is a brilliant Yorkshire business and Callum has a really clear vision for what he wants to create.
"The scale of this project has made it a particularly exciting one for us.
"We're furnishing a number of very different spaces, from the café and bar through to the outdoor terrace and private hospitality areas, so it's given us a great opportunity to bring our experience into a completely different environment."
Furniture Traders was founded in 2006 by Steve and Colette Wilson and is now run by brothers Josh and Jake Wilson.
The business has grown from its original showroom into one of the region’s leading independent furniture retailers.

The latest development will create additional space for customers, hospitality and events.
Mr Stark said: "Furniture is a huge part of how we want the new spaces at Padel Farm to feel, so finding the right partner was really important to us.
"Furniture Traders understood what we were trying to achieve and have been great to work with.
"There's something particularly nice about two independent Yorkshire businesses coming together on a project like this.
"We're both family-owned businesses, so there's a real understanding of the importance of reputation, relationships and getting things right for our customers."
The relationship between the two businesses began through a mutual connection and has since developed into a substantial commercial partnership.
The project is another example of the growing network of independent businesses across Yorkshire working together, with both companies continuing to invest in their businesses and their local communities.
For Furniture Traders, the Padel Farm project adds to an expanding portfolio of commercial and hospitality work, alongside its established retail operation.
The company has previously worked on projects including Grantley Hall.
Padel Farm is the latest example of its furniture and interior expertise being used to create a bespoke commercial environment.
Both companies continue to invest in their businesses and their local communities.
