Greece, sunshine and serious holiday inspiration…

From Greek island sunsets to far flung adventures, my clients have been making memories all over the world this month.

Greece has been especially popular, with trips to Corfu, Rhodes, Halkidiki and the stunning island of Lefkada. These photos are from a lovely family break in Lefkada: lazy pool days, crystal clear water, exploring the island and proper quality time together.

I also have clients currently enjoying incredible journeys in Australia, Canada and Thailand. All this planning has definitely got me thinking about Greece for my own family holiday next summer too 🇬🇷 It’s a great time to book while availability and prices are at their best, so if Greece (or beyond) is on your mind, I am always here for a chat about ideas.

Give FearLess Rugby a follow 🧡

I’m Oliver. I’ve played rugby for as long as I can remember, and I absolutely love the game.

But growing up, I struggled with confidence. I tried to avoid the ball, stayed quiet, and often hid out on the wing because I didn’t believe in myself.

That’s exactly why I’m building FearLess Rugby – to help young players who are in the same position I once was.

Rugby is an incredible sport. It builds teamwork, resilience, discipline, and confidence. But for children who already lack confidence, taking those first steps into the grassroots game can feel overwhelming.

Every child deserves to feel like they belong. A grassroots rugby environment should be a safe, supportive place for every player, and that’s exactly what FearLess is all about. Our arms are open to everyone.

If you’re a parent, coach, or young player who believes confidence is just as important as skills, join the FearLess community. Together, we can help the next generation play with confidence, enjoy the game, and Fear Less. Play More.

My 14 year old son has been working incredibly hard behind the scenes on something very special over the last year, and he’s almost ready to launch!

FearLess Rugby is a project he has created to combine his love of rugby with something he feels really passionate about - helping young players with confidence, mindset and mental health.

It’s about overcoming fear, building resilience and helping young rugby players feel more confident both on and off the pitch.

He has put so much time, thought and effort into this, and I honestly couldn’t be prouder of him. ❤️

If you love rugby, have children who play rugby, or simply want to support a young person who is working hard to turn an idea into something real, please go and give FearLess Rugby a follow! 🙌

Something new is coming for rugby families this September…🐺🏉

We’re here to help young people build confidence, develop positive values and behaviours, and become the best version of themselves – both on and off the pitch.

Fear Less. Play More.

👀 Stay tuned.

A perfect day at Wimbledon 🎾

“Thanks for organising our day at Wimbledon. Our ticket location was great, right in the centre of the court. We had a great day, ordered the afternoon tea picnic which was great value as you keep the cool bag and mat that comes with it. We sat on the hill in the stand and watched Centre Court, then went into Court 1 to watch Hewett win the men’s wheelchair semi.”

I loved arranging this special Wimbledon experience for my clients: reserved No.1 Court seats, time on the hill soaking up Centre Court action, and a relaxed day to enjoy extras such as the afternoon tea picnic that made it feel even more special.

I am expecting 2027 Wimbledon packages to be released this week. Indicative prices are likely to be from around £400 per person, typically including:

• Entrance to Wimbledon and access to the grounds
• Reserved No.1 Court seats
• 1 or 2 nights in a London hotel (a choice of hotels available)
• Option to add transfers for a completely seamless experience

If you would like to receive details as soon as 2027 packages are available and be added to my pre‑registration list, comment TENNIS below or get in touch with me directly.
