Meet Our Team
At Pure Padel, people are at the heart of everything we do. Behind every project is a team of specialists bringing together operational excellence and a genuine passion for padel.
Pure Padel is founded by Gareth and Tom who discovered their passion for padel while travelling overseas together. What started as a shared interest quickly became a clear vision to expand the sport in New Zealand and build something special around it.
