I have a longstanding connection with tennis, having worked and/or volunteered in the sport since the age of 19. Over that time I have accumulated a wealth of experience and knowledge.

Having undertaken the role of Yorkshire Tennis Administrator previously, I have a good understanding of how the county operates and its vision to serve Yorkshire’s tennis and padel communities in the best way possible.

As the Club Engagement lead, I am the first port of call for enquiries from clubs across the county and will signpost clubs accordingly to ensure they receive the right support. I am committed to ensuring we take every opportunity to communicate effectively with all our clubs, whether that be by email or our various social media channels.

In addition to our current loans offer to associate member clubs, we have launched the opportunity to access grants. Our plans also include club webinars on a range of subjects to support clubs in their day to day running.
