Our Team

Philip McLaughlin | Managing Director

I have been in the sports business for over 20 years and I can honestly say I look forward to coming in to work most days.

I am very proud of the staff and the company we have built together over the last 30 years and hope to be working with them for many more years.

I have only recently hung up my 5-a-side boots after my body said no more!!!

I can now be seen on a soccer pitch sideline on a Saturday morning and a rugby pitch on a Sunday morning trying to coach 8 and 9 years in the joys of sport.

Still dreaming of doing a marathon to the hysterical laughs of everyone in the office and anyone else that know me!!
