The multi award winning Padel Tennis Ireland campus at Fota Junction in Carrigtwohill has announced a new Sports Partnership Programme for 300 businesses and which will benefit 300 of Cork’s voluntary, social, civic, charitable and not for profit organisations. Padel Tennis Ireland has also announced the appointment of No.1 Media Group as its partner in the programme and the further appointment of the founder of No.1 Media Group, Michael Mulcahy as the new Head of Communications and Partnerships.
Commenting on the new programme, Mark White, the Founder and Managing Director of Padel Tennis Ireland and Jeremy Coyle, Co-Founder and Operations Director said “We are thrilled to be rolling out a highly innovative Sports Partnership Programme in our Fota Junction campus that will see us in partnership with 300 businesses whose brands will all have a presence onsite and who will all be able to nominate and support a particular organisation in the civic sector of Cork that is close to their hearts. Our ethos in Padel Tennis Ireland is all about inclusivity and we want to do everything possible and give back as much as we can to the amazing Cork organisations that are doing so much for so many all over Cork. We are delighted that Michael and his company are joining forces with us and we are thrilled with the welcome that we have received since opening in Cork last October and we are looking forward to further expansion of our court capacity and the overall business and our expectation is for over 200,000 unique Padel enthusiasts to be visiting our campus on an annual basis in the time ahead”.
Michael Mulcahy of No.1 Media Group said. “Our company is delighted to be partnering with Padel Tennis Ireland and as it is the fastest growing sport in the world, we see enormous potential for everyone in the Sports Partnership Programme that has been devised. We are strong believers in supporting our civic organisations here in Cork through our Cork Civic Life platform and The Pride of Cork Awards, so this initiative from Padel Tennis Ireland is really exciting for us. For me personally, as a newbie to Padel, and as someone that has really embraced the sport in the last six months, I am thrilled to take on the role of Head of Communications and Partnerships with Padel Tennis Ireland and look forward to working with Mark, Jeremy and their fantastic team as I see great potential for the expansion of their business model in Cork and elsewhere”.
