WSBSPORT, a global leader in consultancy services for the sports industry, is excited to announce its strategic partnership with Padel Ventures.

This collaboration marks WSBSPORT’s official entry into the UK market, with a shared mission to deliver top-tier consulting and development services for the rapidly growing padel sector.

Through this partnership, WSBSPORT and Padel Ventures will provide comprehensive planning, consulting, and development services to individuals, businesses, and organisations looking to establish or expand padel facilities in the UK, a nation that boasts a rich racket sports history.

With WSBSPORT’s extensive experience and successful track record in over 200 projects worldwide, and PadelVentures’ deep understanding of the UK sports market, this collaboration is set to become the cornerstone of the UK’s padel industry growth trajectory.

“Gareth brings almost 20 years’ of experience in sport as a professional athlete and business consultant. As a result, he knows the industry extremely well and draws on a rich network to support our mission to introduce high-quality padel services to the UK market.

“WSBSPORT provides planning, consulting, and development services for individuals and companies who want to develop a profitable and cost-efficient padel business. We can help from start to finish.

“WSBSPORT has a unique and distinct role to play in the development of the UK padel market, having pioneered and been part of this industry since the beginning.

“We believe the partnership with Padel Ventures will help us promote padel and bring our know-how to sport, leisure, community, and residential venues throughout the United Kingdom.”

Under the leadership of Pierfrancesco Iazeolla, who leads a group of architects, engineers, designers, marketing specialists, and sport managers operating across five continents, WSBSPORT has established itself as a key force in the global sports consultancy industry.

The company’s role in the UK market will focus on guiding clients through the entire lifecycle of padel project development, from initial planning and feasibility studies to marketing and operational support, ensuring that each project is both profitable and sustainable.

“WSBSPORT’s entrance into the UK market is a significant milestone for both our company and the sport of padel,” said Gareth Evans, Founder of Padel Ventures. 

“Together, we aim to fill a void in the British market by offering unmatched consulting services that not only help our clients succeed in the padel industry but also set new standards for quality and professionalism in the UK.”

As part of their strategy, WSBSPORT and Padel Ventures are committed to raising awareness of their consulting expertise through media engagements and interviews.

Both Iazeolla and Evans will be available to discuss the partnership and their vision for padel’s future in the UK. This effort will enhance WSBSPORT’s reputation and build trust in its consulting services on an international scale.

The first consulting projects under this partnership are already in motion, with a focus on helping clients navigate the unique challenges and opportunities within the UK’s emerging padel market.

These services are designed to cater to a wide range of clients, from sports and leisure operators to community organisations and residential developers.
