A boost to our senior team

We're thrilled to have expanded our team with the appointment of Fraser Clarke to lead the business’ brand and marketing efforts.

The 31-year-old brings with him over a decade’s experience delivering communications strategies for a host of household brands including ScottishPower, IRN-BRU and First Bus.

He joins from leading agency Stripe Communications, where he worked as a Senior Account Director, helping to lead its sporting division, working with clients such as the SWPL and Scottish Women’s Football.

A keen padel player himself, Fraser spent the early part of his career as a journalist, working for a news agency covering stories for all leading publications, before making the move in the marketing world.

He’s served as a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations Committee and was named on PR Week’s 30 Under 30 list, which recognises the most talented young people working in the industry across the UK.

Commenting on his appointment, Fraser said: “It’s a dream role for me and I’m so excited by the opportunity to join the Game4Padel team.

“I’ve actually been playing padel for a while now at my local G4P courts, and it’s always nagged at me when I played thinking that I’d love to get involved one day.

“So to have the chance to turn this passion into my actual day job is incredible and I can’t wait to play my part in helping with all the exciting plans we have in the pipeline over the coming years as the sport continues to go from strength to strength.”

Fraser will be based at Game4Padel’s Edinburgh headquarters, with a remit stretching across all of its ever-growing venues across the UK.

Michael Gradon, CEO at Game4Padel, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Fraser on board. His passion, enthusiasm and creativity shines through and it’s a significant and timely addition to our expanding team.

“It’s an exciting time for us as a business, with a host of new venues and expansions in the pipeline and in the competitive padel market, impactful marketing is vital to our continued growth.

“Fraser will play a key role in this for our business and I’m excited to see the impact he’ll have for us over the coming years.”
