Description

Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) is looking to appoint a Tennis Operator to manage the tennis facilities and tennis programmes at Cantley Park in Wokingham. The tennis operator will be expected to deliver a fully inclusive community programme, comprising tennis activities for all ages and abilities as well as delivering to specific target groups identified by the local authority. Another key objective of the role will be to drive interest in pay and play tennis, through the implementation of a marketing plan to ensure the long-term sustainability of the tennis operation.

The Council is currently working in partnership with the LTA to significantly improve the current tennis facilities (9 outdoor courts), through the addition of 3 new courts, floodlighting to 6 courts and the building of a new clubhouse. This development will also include the installation of an electronic court access system linked to online court booking, which will provide easy access and affordable tennis for the local community.
The operator will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the tennis activities, including the delivery of a comprehensive tennis programme.

This is a really exciting opportunity to manage and be part of one of the largest community tennis facilities in the UK. The current population of the Borough is approximately 160,00 and within the next ten years WBC will have an additional 10,500 homes.
