Stormzy invests in Padel Social Club as padel’s popularity surges across the UK

December 16, 2024

Music star Stormzy joins Padel Social Club as an investor, backing the UK’s booming padel scene. PSC’s upcoming expansions at The O2 and Wandsworth promise premium courts, top-notch dining, and a thriving community.

Padel Social Club (PSC) has welcomed Brit Award-winning, multi-platinum artist Stormzy as its newest investor, a move that underscores PSC’s growing influence in the UK’s emerging padel landscape.

Stormzy’s support amplifies the club’s mission to popularise the sport and foster a dynamic community around it.

The partnership comes at a pivotal time for PSC, as it prepares to unveil new courts at The O2 and open a six-court indoor club in Wandsworth by early summer 2025. These expansions follow the overwhelming success of PSC’s flagship Earls Court location. Plans for The O2 have already been upgraded from three to five courts, featuring both indoor and outdoor options, with the full club set to open in Spring 2025.

Stormzy, now an investor in PSC, said: “Padel isn’t just another sport – it’s a game that hooks you in, whether you’re starting out or totally addicted like I am. What really stood out about Padel Social Club is that they’re doing more than just building courts; they’re bringing people together and creating a real community. That’s why I’m excited to be part of this journey. Big things are coming!”

PSC’s approach extends beyond the sport itself. Underlining its ambition to become a premium lifestyle brand, the club’s upcoming sites will feature not only state-of-the-art courts but also curated food and drink menus, riverside views, comfortable spaces to relax or work, and an inclusive atmosphere that encourages members to connect both on and off the court.

Kristian Hunter, CEO of Padel Social Club, commented: “Having Stormzy invest in Padel Social Club is a huge moment for us. He’s built a reputation in music, sport, and business, but most importantly he shares our passion for community. Together, we’ll take padel to new heights in the UK. With Stormzy’s backing and our expansions at The O2 and Wandsworth, we’re building far more than playing facilities—we’re creating a lifestyle experience.”

As PSC continues to grow, it remains committed to broadening access to the game and strengthening the padel community nationwide. The forthcoming national expansion will bring premium playing opportunities to communities across the UK by 2025, spearheading the country’s booming padel movement and ensuring that players of all levels have a welcoming place to participate and engage.
