Foreword Following the successful launch of the Tennis Industry Association’s Tennis Book last June, I hope you will agree that this second edition has maintained the levels of useful and interesting information established last year. The Tennis Book is published by the Tennis Industry Association UK as a service to British tennis, especially its members. The TIA itself has expanded significantly in the last 12 months with over 65 member companies now representing virtually all the major sectors within the industry. Our aim is to provide all our member companies with a range of commercial benefits to justify their subscriptions. In addition to the Tennis Book, the TIA has also launched Tennis Outlook in newspaper format to provide a vehicle for news and features relating to the tennis industry, as well as TIA UK Insurance and TennisWire PR services. The growth of tennis in Britain remains a vital objective for all involved in the game and to that end the TIA is committed to working closely with the governing body. It was therefore with great pleasure that, together with the LTA, we were able to announce late last year, a partnership with the Golf Show Group to establish a three-day London Tennis Show. The Tennis Show runs alongside their successful London Golf Show at ExCel at the end of Aprilearly May and will prove an excellent way for both the industry and fans to launch the season. It is our hope that this will become a permanent fixture in everyone’s annual calendar. The Tennis Show is a consumer event with a strong trade element that will help to raise the profile of the sport and generate interest in the game where it matters most, from the grass roots, recreational level upwards, which is one of the many common goals shared by the LTA and the TIA. As mentioned, this is the second edition of the Tennis Book, which we aim to update on an annual basis, and if you have any ideas that you feel can improve the product, please let the Editor know so these may be considered before the next publication in 2011. I trust you have a successful season, whether as a ‘trader’, ‘player’, official or just a ‘fan’. Ian Peacock OBE President Tennis Industry Association UK 5
