Meet the team

Paul Smith

Paul Smith - Owner and Founder

I left my city position in 1999 to create a sports marketing business that offers a unique slant on your everyday events and hospitality. Yes we offer Hospitality and Tickets to all the world major sporting events at the market rate. In addition we have the contacts and creativity to develop new products that give our clients the edge over their competitors either as an add on to off the shelf hospitality or by creating an event solely for their company to own.

My claim to fame is having my golf swing compared to that of Jack Nicklaus by Tom Watson at Kingsbarns. "Hey Jack he hits a gay fade just like you!"
