  • Big Box Padel: Going it alone without Playtomic
    Apr 22 2026

    Fantastic to catch up with Jack Williams from On The Court and John Preston from Baseline Digital Marketing at BigBox Padel Club in their impressive 9-court indoor facility in Huddersfield.


    In this episode, Jack and John discuss BigBox Padel Club’s decision to move forward without a third-party booking app, and how that approach supports greater ownership of the customer relationship. As the app provider and the brand and marketing lead supporting the club, they explain how better access to data can help deliver more effective messaging, more relevant communication, and a stronger user experience both on and off court.

  • Tie break Ep 51 - Easter debrief 🐣
    Apr 14 2026

    In this latest Padel Stories Tiebreak, we share some recent padel postcards from the USA with listener and friend Ivo Maciel and catch up on the games we’ve been involved in, including a fantastic, hard-fought tie NB was involved in featuring Jon Wilkin, Michael Vaughan, and Chris Reimann, aka Chris the Pilot.

    Jen talks about her recent holiday to Tenerife, while Nick confesses to overindulging on Easter chocolates and getting back on track with a bit of a diet.

    We also look ahead to some exciting upcoming guests, including Sky Sports golf presenter Sophie Walker, who we’re absolutely delighted to have joining us soon as well as the recorded interview NB did with John Preston and Jack Williams at the newly named Big Box Padel in Huddersfield.

    We hope you enjoy
