Head of Operations @ Hoek Home | China Sourcing & Manufacturing Expert

Global Supply Chain Strategist | 20+ Years Sourcing & Manufacturing in Asia for US & EU Brands | Padel Court Supply 🌍 

I'm a sourcing and manufacturing expert who has spent two decades building supply chain solutions in China. I leverage a deep network of vetted factory partners to provide brands and wholesalers with a profitable and efficient way to bring their products to market.

I specialise in:

- End-to-end supply chain management: from product sourcing to final delivery.

- Negotiating the most competitive pricing without compromising quality.

- Strategic warehousing and 3PL solutions in Asia, Europe, and the US.

From "Just a Pitch" to a 365-Day Revenue Engine 📈

GAA and rugby clubs across Ireland and the UK are sitting on a goldmine: underutilised space.

The traditional model relies on seasonal memberships and bar takings. It’s a struggle. We’re helping clubs pivot to a Multi-Sport Wellness Hub model:

🎾 Padel Courts: The fastest-growing sport in the world, driving high-frequency bookings. 
☕ Container Cafes: High-margin grab-and-go revenue from parents and players. 
🧖‍♂️ Recovery Suites: Saunas and wellness spaces that keep the club active from 6 AM to 10 PM.

Sustainable cash flow isn't about more fundraisers; it’s about better infrastructure.

My family business has been importing goods from the Far East since 1973 (50 years), so I am very lucky to come from a very strong business background, with a lot of experience in dealing with the Asian marketplace. 


I’ve managed to convince Conor & Brian at Hoek Home into believing I know what I’m doing and guess what they gave me a gig…

Watch out IKEA there’s a new kid on the block 😎

🇨🇳 SOURCE FIND ASIA (Newlands Sourcing)

Founder of Newlands Sourcing in 2017, we source & manufacture goods from China for the US & European markets. I have over 15 years of experience in this industry. Recently Newlands has merged with Source Find Asia. SFA is owned & run by my long-term business partner, Rico Ngoma. 

SFA is the most profitable choice for wholesalers & B2C businesses, as we leverage our long-standing relationships with factories across China, 3PLs worldwide & freight forwarders to give you sourcing, manufacturing, assembly, fulfillment, & warehousing at the best cost possible for your business. With an office in Guangzhou, we have boots on the ground. 

We have warehouses/3PL in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, & on the West coast of the US. 

No matter what the product, if it is made in China we will source it, produce it, ship it & handle everything in between. 


💯 Earned Athletic Apparel

Our mission is to foster a community that acknowledges that success and fulfillment are earned through dedication, discipline, grit, and hard work. Our high-quality functional fitness apparel represents these core values.

I founded Earned in 2018 off the back of my passion for CrossFit. Unfortunately, I had to make the hard decision to shut the company down in mid-2022. Initial regret and frustration have turned into clarity and all of the positive learnings I have taken from this experience. I truly believe that for my next venture (in the works) to succeed I needed Earned to fail.

We manufacture Padel courts from the best factories in China

Sustainable business models…

GAA/ rugby clubs up and down Ireland & the U.K. struggle for cash flow 💸 

By adding padel courts, containers converted into cafes, and saunas you are opening your club to the community and a new lease of life.

Rethinking the future of sports clubs…

Grassroots clubs across Ireland and the U.K. are under real financial pressure.  

Adding padel courts can unlock new revenue streams and attract an entirely new member base. 💸  

Pair that with recovery features like saunas and ice baths, and clubs become year‑round lifestyle hubs.

Stop struggling for cash flow. Start scaling with Padel...

Grassroots clubs across Ireland and the UK are facing a revenue crisis. The solution isn't just more memberships; it’s better infrastructure.

Padel courts are the highest revenue-per-square-meter investment a club can make in 2026. By adding high-spec courts and rounding out the experience with a sauna and ice bath, you transform a local club into a premium wellness destination.

We’re helping clubs in the UK and Ireland pivot from traditional "struggling" models to thriving, high-yield hubs. It’s about creating a lifestyle, not just a sports facility.

Is Padel the hottest thing since ai 🤖? 

Based on my LinkedIn posts in the last week I think yes! Impressions are what counts on LI. 

There is a huge demand for Padel courts in the U.K. & Ireland. Rugby, GAA, football, tennis, & golf clubs are perfect spaces to add courts. They will bring an extra revenue stream for the club and attract new members.
