The 1931 Padel Club from M&G Investments is a new initiative to build stronger connections with our clients and charitable partners, both on and off the court.
Widely considered as the fastest-growing sport in the UK, Padel’s innovative approach to gameplay, combining elements of tennis and squash, and its social, primarily doubles format, emphasises teamwork and strategy. The sport centres on building the right partnerships – qualities that are equally vital in our business.
To highlight the importance we place on partnerships, we’ve joined forces with five Padel clubs*, allowing our clients to experience the thrill of Padel while building meaningful connections with our sales and investment teams.
*Club de Padel (Manchester), Padium (Canary Wharf, London), Rocket Padel (Battersea, London), Rocket Padel (Bristol), and Rocks Lane Padel (Chiswick, London).

The London Sports Festival 2025
We’re delighted to be the official Padel partner at this year’s London Sports Festival. Running from May to October, the festival is a unique celebration of sporting installations and activations across the capital, featuring some of London’s most iconic locations. The festival offers a diverse range of sports, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
As the official Padel partner, we will use the pop-up Padel courts at St Paul’s Cathedral Churchyard and Tower Hill Terrace, overlooking the Tower of London, to connect with clients and engage in school and charity outreach. This includes donating a half-day session with a professional coach at each location to Whizz Kidz, the UK’s leading charity supporting young wheelchair users up to 25 years old. The charity provides young people with the equipment and skills needed to live as independently as possible and enjoy opportunities that many take for granted.
