Spring: TENNIS FORUM – for anyone with business interests in UK tennis
The Tennis Forum organised by the TIA UK and hosted by sponsors Pinsent Masons in its contemporary offices in Crown Place, London, was hailed a great success by the 40+ attendees from a range of tennis business interests.
The objective of the 2023 Forum was to assess the health of GB tennis with the aim of being better informed as an industry to meet the current trading challenges and a focus to take advantage of future opportunities. The aim was to look at a number of indicators of ‘tennis health’ and included an overview of tennis participation; tennis profitability in the commercial club sector; the strength of volunteer involvement and the level of facility investment; equipment sales; tennis coach businesses; pro events and innovation.
The next Tennis Forum is planned for April/May 2024 so watch out for announcements.
