Competition, connection and community came together once again at the Imperium Charity Padel Tournament, bringing together colleagues, friends and industry contacts for one of the highlights of Imperium’s annual calendar.

Imperium continued their support for Parkinson’s Guernsey, with the funds raised at the event ring-fenced to provide padel courts and coaching to people affected by Parkinson’s across the Bailiwick.

Making the occasion particularly special was a team from Parkinson’s Guernsey joining the tournament themselves, alongside teams from the local business community, visiting contacts from off-island and members of the Imperium team.

The tournament has become an important tradition for Imperium and feels particularly significant this year as the Group approaches its 15th anniversary. Founded by David Gilmour in October 2011, Imperium has grown significantly over the past 15 years, but bringing people together, building relationships and supporting the communities in which it operates remain central to the business.

Euan Melrose, Group Head of Business Development for Imperium, said:

“The Padel Tournament is an event we genuinely look forward to every year. It brings together so many of the things that are important to Imperium, our people, our relationships and our commitment to supporting our community. As we approach our 15th anniversary, it is particularly special to see how the tournament has grown over the last six years, with our own teams, local friends and colleagues and players travelling from off-island all coming together. Most importantly, we are delighted to once again support Parkinson’s Guernsey and the fantastic work they do in our community.”
