Sam Fuller and Matt Still Take Home the Trophy at YEP Exeter Padel Tournament

A little friendly competition and plenty of great conversations made for a fantastic evening at the YEP Exeter Padel Tournament.

Our Associate Planner, Sam Fuller, joined fellow professionals from across the property and construction industry at Slazenger Padel Club for an evening of networking, making connections and, of course, a little friendly competition.

And there was an extra reason to celebrate, with Sam and his padel partner, Matt Still from Lloyd and Whyte, taking home the tournament trophy!

While the evening was about much more than the result, it was a brilliant opportunity to catch up with familiar faces, meet new contacts and enjoy some valuable conversations in a relaxed and informal setting.

Events like these are a great reminder of the importance of building relationships across our industry and creating opportunities to connect outside the usual working environment.

A huge well done to Sam and Matt on their win and thank you to the YEP team for organising such an enjoyable event. We think a trophy cabinet at Laurence Associates might be a good idea!
