What PRADEL TECH LIMITED does

Padel Tech Limited (trading as Padel Tech) is a UK-based specialist contractor that designs, supplies, installs, and maintains padel courts and canopy structures. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Edinburgh with a maintenance office in Warwick, the company operates as the exclusive UK distributor for AFP Courts | adidas, a market-leading court manufacturer based in Barcelona. Padel Tech's core product is the modular padel court system, available in posted, panoramic, aluminium, and singles configurations, engineered with Sendzimir zinc-treated or hot-dip galvanised steel, CE-marked glass panels to UNE-EN 12150-2:2005, and structures rated to withstand wind speeds up to 278 km/h. The technology is supplemented by three canopy manufacturing partnerships, Mondo Supercourt surfacing, and LTA-approved lighting systems.

The business model is project-based B2B enterprise sales, with no intermediaries or resellers. Padel Tech engages clients directly through a consultative sales cycle that includes a free desktop study, on-site survey, in-house design and technical drawing, planning permission management, groundworks, court installation, and ongoing maintenance programmes. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time installation contracts (court supply and fit-out, with project sizes ranging from single-court installations to multi-million-pound venue builds such as the £5M Padium facility in Canary Wharf) and recurring maintenance services.

The customer base is concentrated in three verticals: premium sports clubs and leisure facilities (e.g., East Glos Tennis Club, The Northern Lawn Tennis Club, Aberdeen Tennis Centre), luxury hotels and resorts (e.g., Gleneagles, Adare Manor, Wentworth Club, Sandy Lane Yacht Club), and professional football clubs (Liverpool FC, Manchester City FC, Everton FC). Padel Tech holds SAPCA Principal Contractor status and ISO 9001:2015 certification, and claims 60% of the UK padel court installation market, with 161 courts installed across 82 locations in 9 countries.
