Insurance doesn’t need to be complicated.

At RiskHQ, we work with leisure businesses like padel clubs, gyms, hospitality and experience-led venues, so we already understand your world.

That means less jargon, less back and forth, and clearer advice from the start.

If you want straightforward insurance support, drop us a message 🤝

Are we watching padel repeat the trampoline park cycle… or is this time actually different? 🎾

On paper, it looks similar:

🏟️ big indoor spaces
💷 high rent + rates
💰 heavy upfront investment
📊 pressure to keep footfall up

We saw it with trampoline parks, fast growth, then consolidation, then a lot of sites disappearing or being repurposed.

But padel feels different.

It’s not just a one-and-done activity.

You can pick it up in minutes… but the more you play, the more there is to learn. That’s what drives people back 🔁

And it’s starting to build around that:

• coaching
• leagues
• social play
• dating events
• community nights
• grading systems

For operators, it’s not just about courts.
It’s about building something people actually want to stay part of.

We’ve seen cases of storm damage, vandalism, and even full court structures being destroyed in extreme weather, both in the UK and abroad.

The challenge is that many standard commercial insurance policies don’t fully cover outdoor court-specific risks like storm damage.

For operators, this isn’t a “nice to have” - it’s essential protection for a significant investment.

Making sure the right cover is in place can be the difference between a setback and a total loss.

The leisure industry was crying out for a risk advisor that actually understands the space 🎾⛹️

Too many businesses were getting advice from people who don’t understand the day-to-day reality of running a gym, studio, or wellness brand.

This industry has its own risks, and getting insurance wrong isn’t an option.⚠️

Risk HQ was built to bridge that gap.

Ever feel like being a founder is lonely?

You can’t always share everything, and a lot of the pressure gets carried quietly behind the scenes.

Building a strong network outside of my own business has been one of the biggest game-changers 🤝

Surrounding myself with other founders and business owners who just get it.

You quickly realise most of what you’re going through is normal. The setbacks, the pressure, all part of the journey.

The hurdles don’t disappear, but the right people make them easier to navigate.

Sport has played a huge role in shaping how we show up in business.

The discipline, resilience and consistency behind Risk HQ comes from years of pushing ourselves in sport.

It’s also where the best connections happen naturally.
That’s why we built our networking events around padel.

Say goodbye to forced networking! 👋

In today’s increasingly litigious environment, waiting for a problem to surface isn’t a strategy - it’s a risk in itself.

The better approach?

Review, challenge, and strengthen your processes before you’re tested.
