Max England
Age: 30
Occupation: Senior Account Manager and Former Tennis Player
From: Surrey
What has been your biggest business success?: "I've spent the majority of my professional career in ecommerce, working with some of the world's leading brands across a number of different categories. Through my guidance, these brands have seen consistent, profitable growth, which is something I'm now looking to apply to my own business with Lord Sugar."
Describe your business plan: "Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, with over 25 million people now playing. The UK padel market however is still in its infancy and is only just starting its growth journey. My ambition is to open a series of premium, indoor padel centres that service not only the general public but provide a base for those looking for the highest-quality facilities and the best coaching."
Why should Lord Sugar invest in you?: "I'm a former top UK tennis player, now turned padel enthusiast, with an abundance of knowledge and contacts within the industry. I'm ultimately offering Lord Sugar the opportunity to get involved in one of - if not the - most exciting, most investable areas out there at the moment."
