Join James Palmer, co-founder of Padel Society, for an informal evening sharing the story behind how he and David McCann started Padel Society, the challenges and opportunities of building a new sports business, and why they believe the time to move quickly in padel is now.
He’ll discuss the latest trends in the sport, where they see the market heading over the next 3–5 years, and how Padel Society plans to capitalise on the current growth, with a growing pipeline of new sites already being explored.
This includes plans to expand south of the border with 2–3 new locations, including a purpose-built warehouse and wellness facility designed specifically around padel.
The evening will also provide insight into Padel Society’s strategy for building a financially strong, operationally efficient and scalable business and, if time allows, you might even get the chance to have a go at padel yourself.
