Acenta Group has officially taken its first step into the UK leasing market, signing an agreement with Padel Société Limited, operating under Acenta UK. The deal covers three of the company’s POP UP padel courts, leased for an initial five-month period and then continuing on a rolling monthly basis with one month’s notice.
This agreement marks an important milestone in Acenta Group’s international expansion strategy. The client has also expressed plans to install an additional 10–20 courts within the next 5–12 months, highlighting the growth potential of the partnership. Each court generates a recurring minimum monthly revenue, creating predictable cash flow and laying the foundation for long-term scalable growth in the UK.
The three courts are part of Acenta’s POP UP concept – portable padel courts that can be installed temporarily (minimum six months) and later moved to new venues. Under this leasing model, clients pay a monthly license fee. The first courts are scheduled to be shipped from Sweden in early September, with installation planned for mid-September. Leasing revenues will begin immediately, with the expectation that the courts will remain in the UK market for several years.
The courts will be operated by Tour Padel Ltd in collaboration with the University of Greenwich, as part of Tour Padel’s innovative approach to expanding the sport. Their model demonstrates how the POP UP solution can bring padel to new communities, universities, and clubs.
«This first leasing agreement in the UK is an exciting step for Acenta and a strong validation of our strategy to broaden our offering with flexible solutions. The POP UP model allows us to rapidly scale padel infrastructure, while also creating a recurring revenue stream for the Company. With Padel Société, we have found a partner that shares our vision for growth, and we look forward to supporting the expansion of padel across the UK market,» says Håkan Tollefsen, CEO of Acenta Group.
«We are delighted to launch Acenta’s POP UP concept in the UK through our partnership with Tour Padel Ltd and the University of Greenwich. Tour Padel’s innovative approach to growing the sport aligns perfectly with our mission to make padel more accessible while ensuring quality and sustainability are never compromised. This agreement is an important first step in building a strong platform for long-term growth in the UK and Ireland,» says Neil McClure, Director of Padel Société Limited.
With this first leasing deal secured, Acenta strengthens its position as a leading full-service provider in the global padel industry, combining innovative business models with sustainable growth opportunities.
