Is padel moving into a new phase?

As with lots of growth markets that are moving from innovator through early adopter to early majority on the life cycle, I have been feeling for some time that there is bigger money hovering around the edges of the burgeoning padel sector in the UK.

Am I right?
Until recently the business of padel seemed to be asking some relatively simple questions:
Can we find a place to put courts for the players, in fact any courts of any type?

If we build it, will they come?

Will they come back?

Maybe now those questions are beginning to be answered.

Maybe now the family offices, VC’s, and property investors are coming off the side lines.
It feels that way to me, and I have seen some anecdotal evidence, but does it look that way to those that are involved in those areas I wonder?

🥂 Britain’s love affair with Champagne is bubbling up again.

The UK imported 22.7 million bottles of Champagne in 2025.

That makes the UK one of Champagne’s most important markets in the world, accounting for around 15% of global exports.

And for Champagne + Fromage, that growing appetite creates the perfect opportunity to do something a little different.

Rather than keeping Champagne for birthdays, weddings and big celebrations, Champagne + Fromage has built its niche around a much simpler idea:

Champagne is wine. And wine is made to be enjoyed with food.

More specifically… with cheese. 🧀🥂

By bringing together independently produced Grower Champagnes, artisan French cheeses and classic French dishes — all sourced directly from France — Champagne + Fromage offers an experience that sits somewhere between a French bistro, a Champagne bar and a specialist deli.

It’s distinctive. It’s authentic. And it taps into a UK market that is rediscovering its enthusiasm for Champagne.

Because perhaps the next chapter of Britain’s Champagne story isn’t about waiting for something to celebrate.

Perhaps opening the bottle is the celebration. 🇫🇷🥂

Or perhaps opening your own Champagne + Fromage is a great personal and business opportunity. 🇫🇷🥂

Data matters, not more, but maybe as much as the apparently cooler stuff.

We have a site available for immediate adoption by a franchisee in Brighton.

If Brighton is your place and cost effective experiential hospitality I is your game, or you want it to be, do get in touch with me to discuss.

Pilot Franchise Opportunity: Help Build a Better Business Brokerage Brand

Set up by leading franchise consultancy Lime Licensing Group, Sell Up Business Brokers is looking for an experienced business broker or business transfer agent to become one of our first Pilot Franchisees.

This is not a conventional “buy a franchise and follow the manual” opportunity.

As a Pilot Franchisee, you will join at ground level and have a genuine opportunity to help shape the operating model, client proposition, fee structure, technology and future franchise network.

With this in mind, the costs to you to join as a Pilot Franchisee will reflect the opportunity, and your input.

This role will suit an ambitious, commercially minded professional with direct experience in business broking, business transfer, corporate finance, accountancy-led transactions or SME advisory.

Most importantly, you will share our belief that selling a business should be handled with integrity, clarity and genuine commitment to the client’s best interests.

This is a rare opportunity to combine the independence of running your own business with the support, infrastructure and strategic ambition to modernise the way UK business owners sell their businesses.

If you would like to know more, do get in touch in one of the usual ways.

Brand building. Sometimes it’s the big things, sometimes it’s the apparently little things, but with good brands it’s always about the detail and oversight of the messaging you broadcast.

Why is a pottery studio franchise brand so concerned with the branding on their coffee cups?

Maybe it relays what the brand is about in some way?

The combination of Bonbon’s creative concept, everything visual about the brand, and a business systems first approach, allows people who see themselves as ‘creative’ to run a creative pottery business more profitably. It also allows business entrepreneurs to enter the fast growing creative economy.

We saw it, the HSBC bank saw it, the brand owners see it; so if you want to know more do tell me about why the little things and the big things matter, or just get in touch for a confidential and maybe an enlightening conversation.
