Who are STN Sports
STN Sports are Kipling House Investments’ first partner. Sports lawyer Sean O’Toole and Matchroom’s former Chief Matchmaker Paul Ready, teamed up to launch a sports agency focused on delivering a Second To None management service to a carefully selected group of Second To None athletes.
STN Sports has already become a market leader in boxing management in the UK.
Why we partnered
Sean and Paul ticked all the boxes for KHI. Both are strong leaders that work very well together, they share a big vision and work by the mantra ‘on or ON’. It’s one of the many reasons athletes turn to them.
We identified STN Sports as being the first of many businesses that KHI would partner with which involve Sean, Paul and their athletes.
What we helped with
Identifying that STN Sports would benefit from support on the commercial side, KHI introduced the founders to Balthazar Fabricius who was appointed as their non-executive director.
A solid addition to the team, the introduction opens the doors to brands as well as providing a very experienced set of hands to support growth plans.
We launched STN at the height of the pandemic. There was uncertainty in the sport coupled with a volatile financial market. With the backing and support of the Thompsons we’ve navigated that, disrupting the perceived norm of athlete management with the vision to become market leaders and be here for the long game. Now the business is really thriving. STN is considered to be the most exclusive and desirable stable for an athlete to be a part of.
