Saffery sponsors padel tournament

Saffery has agreed to be a lead sponsor of the adidas HOP Tour 2024.

The Home Of Padel (HOP) Tour comprises a series of one-day padel tournaments for club level players, following a knock-out format. Events are free for spectators to attend, with the aim of showcasing the sport of padel to the wider community.

Home Of Padel, which is organising the tour, was founded in 2021 by national GB padel coach John Leach and former UK padel tour no.1 Javi Serrats.

The tour began in Harrogate in February and will visit clubs in Slough, Ilford, Manchester, Oxford and Roehampton. The next event is at Padel Hub, Slough on 5 May, offering an £800 prize for the winners in the HOP Pro category.

John Leach, HOP Co-Founder and GB Head Coach, & Javi Serrats, HOP Co-Founder and National Coach, commented:

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Saffery, bringing them onboard as one of the Lead Partners of the adidas HOP Tour. Saffery shares our ambitions for growth as an organisation, and is passionate about promoting wellbeing activities such as padel. With Saffery’s support we wish to continue shaping the future of UK padel.”

Justine Stalker, partner at Saffery, commented:

“Padel is an exciting new sport that’s really exploded in popularity over the past few years. It’s great fun, very good for keeping fit, competitive and is starting to bring the business community together. I’m a big fan. I’m so pleased we can support this tour and I hope we can inspire new players and encourage participation. The wellbeing of our people is not just important to us, it is a key priority, so I’m hoping we can also encourage teams in our local offices to attend the events and participate in the sport.”
