Matchbox set out to create a modern, multi-sport venue designed to introduce new audiences to racket sports while increasing site revenue through innovative recreational offerings. As part of this vision, they partnered with Padel Build UK to install a high-quality padel court within their expanding facility.
The addition of padel was seen as a key opportunity to attract new customers to racket sports, provide a welcoming community venue, and increase overall venue revenue. Padel’s growing popularity made it a natural fit for Matchbox’s forward-thinking sports concept.
Matchbox first discovered Padel Build UK through social media and quickly identified the company as the right partner for their project. Key factors included a UK-based manufacturer with short lead times, a complete turnkey solution, excellent communication throughout, and consistent availability and support from the team. The client reported no concerns or challenges during the decision process.
The installation process was described as straightforward, organised, and well-communicated from start to finish. Padel Build UK delivered the court on a Friday, allowing the team to begin work the following Monday morning. The project was completed on time and within budget, with the team attending both the first and final installation days to ensure client satisfaction.
Matchbox rated their overall experience 10 out of 10, highlighting excellent build quality and solid construction, a high-quality glass system, turf supplied complete with sand infill, and a strong playing experience reported by early users.
I am very happy with the quality of the court, glass, turf and sand. Customers are already enjoying a great playing experience.
Since installation, the padel court has helped Matchbox advance its goal of creating an inclusive, community-focused sports venue while expanding its commercial offering. The client has already recommended Padel Build UK to another organisation considering a padel installation, a strong endorsement of both product and service.
