Last night, Sport Industry Group marked the tenth anniversary of the Sport Industry NextGen programme with a summer celebration that brought together the alumni from the last decade.


Held at Pergola, a rooftop bar in South London, the event welcomed current and former NextGen Leaders, coaches, and partners to reconnect and reflect on a decade of personal and professional development, leadership.

The evening kicked off with Sport industry Group Executive Chair, Nick Keller, sharing his own reflection on the leadership programme that celebrates the thirty brightest and best in the sector.

That was followed by a high-energy sports quiz hosted by Sport Industry Group Managing Director, Dylan Pugh, featuring some fiercely contested rounds and outstanding prizes.

Congratulations to Ashanti George-Faure for taking first place, followed by Giulia Zecchini in second and Nick Heemskerk in third, as well as the 2020 cohort, who claimed the team win.

As the sun set over south London, guests raised a glass to ten years of impact, community, and leadership – all made possible thanks to the incredible support of Sport Industry NextGen’s valued partners and coaches.

Thank you to our current partners The Wave, RPC and AMOS Sport Business School.
