The company Work &Padel recently made its debut by creating its first club in Aix-en-Provence within the company Hopps Group. With 2 courts of padel and soon (a lot?) more on the clock, W&P is based on a very interesting concept linked to the business world. We will tell you everything.

An original story

Former tennis player of good level and self-taught jack of all trades, Dorian Bargigli was one of the first to launch the padel in the Aix-Marseille region at the Presqu'île de Cassis club in 2010.

Noting his strong development potential, he had the brilliant idea of ​​associating Padel and the business world by setting up sports structures directly within companies.

This is how the first W&P “test” club was created at the end of 2017 within HOPPS GROUP, a leading holding company in the local delivery, services and communication market (600 employees at the head office in Aix, 22.000 employees, 500 million euros in turnover).

An innovative concept

Based on the observation that well-being in the workplace has become one of the crucial challenges of the XNUMXst century, Work &Padel is based on a simple but very innovative concept: giving employees the opportunity to practice a fun and original sport directly at work, and also develop a global offer aimed at taking into account the employee's fulfillment and strengthening cohesion group within the company: provision of a qualified employee responsible for the proper functioning of the structure, organization of regular team-building, group lessons, inter-company tournaments, mini-tournaments between departments, afterworks, employee relations through the organization of parties, internships and training school padel for children of employees ...

The bet is a winner. For several months, attendance has risen to 300 players / week, and more and more employees are coming to the club to play or chat over a coffee or a beer during "afterwork &" events.padel ».

A project that is developing

Faced with the success of the first W&P club, Dorian, assisted by a sports director and a marketing manager, does not intend to stop there.

Work &Padel finalizes the opening of its second club in Marseille at Brousse Vergez (agri-food trade) and should launch a third site at the Château de la Pioline aux Milles (luxury hotel) by the end of the summer.

In addition, several projects are under development in the Aix-Marseille region and could come into being between the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019.

As the founder admits, “nur objective is to have ten W&P clubs in the region by 2020 ". Before conquering new territories?

In summary, Work and Padel, it is…

  •    . A visionary entrepreneur and an original idea
  •    . An innovative concept
  •    . A qualified and motivated team
  •    . A strong ambition: create links within the company and strengthen employee well-being
  •    . A “brand” set to grow rapidly

   ... And of course padel, padel and more padel !!!
