UK Padel Courts has announced a major partnership with leading Catalan padel court manufacturer Padelgest.
The partnership between the two construction companies will be branded ‘UK Padel Courts – partnered with Padelgest’ and centre on the UK padel market. Its courts will be constructed utilising Padelgest’s high-end manufacturing process along with British-made turf to provide a best-in-class design. The courts will be delivered on-site in the UK for clubs and individuals.
Padelgest was for several years the official supplier of courts to the World Padel Tour and the International Padel Federation (FIP). The organisation has become a major player in the world’s padel powerhouse, Spain.
Gareth Evans, Managing Director of UK Padel Courts, said: “We are proud to be a British-based company that was formed from a passion for what is a new sport in this country.
“As we continue to grow, we’re learning a great deal from the established padel markets, of which Spain is a world-leader, so the next logical step for us is to partner with Padelgest to bring their combined and world-renowned design with our knowledge and expertise of the emerging British market.
“This is a win-win collaboration and, as committed padel players ourselves, we are excited that people will now get the opportunity in this country to play on a best-in-class court in the near future.”
Sergi Estupiña, CEO of Padelgest, said: “We are a proud Catalan company that has served as the official supplier of courts for the International Padel Federation, and built courts across five continents in many established padel markets, and new markets such as USA.
“The UK is a country that adores its sport and is recognised as one of the world’s emerging padel markets. The moment I met the UK Padel Courts team, I knew this was a meeting of the minds where we could couple our years of authentic design and manufacturing with their knowledge and expertise of the nuances of the British market, to ensure players across Britain get to experience a court with a difference. We are thrilled to begin our British journey.”
Padelgest has been constructing courts for over 20 years with a variety of designs available, including Super Panoramic, Panoramic and Club designs. The Catalan company – which this year made news by securing the contract to construct a padel court at the emblematic and luxurious Steinway Tower in New York, the thinnest skyscraper in the world – has spread the sport worldwide by building courts in the likes of Dubai, Norway, Hong Kong and Bolivia.
Cheshire-based UK Padel Courts, which was founded by construction and leisure specialists Jordan Ingoe and Gareth Evans in October 2022, has a focus on customer service throughout the court construction journey – from the initial sketch on a piece of paper through to the first ball being hit – and beyond.
