GPM – Welcome to the Professional Era of Badminton

GLOBAL PRO MANAGMENT (GPM) is the fusion of a wealth of badminton business knowledge accumulated by Mathieu Argellies and Mark Phelan over the past number of years. The new business is born, not only out of necessity, but also a deep love of the game and the athletes that play badminton. GPM recognises the fundamental fact that all badminton professionals need a voice and we are there to be that voice as representatives for the players in all areas of contractual negotiations and representation. As badminton people to our very core, GPM will strive to work for and protect the interests of all badminton professionals as in our sport there is no one more important than the athlete.

“The sport of badminton is rooted deep within me and it is my view that it is the players who make the sport what it is. Without the players our beautiful game is nothing and it is time that the players realise their value and that the commercial interests within the sport realise the extreme value that they can achieve by supporting a top class badminton professional. It is our wish to be an integral part of that fusion and together we can continue to move the sport forward.” Mark Phelan (Partner GPM)

“For me I feel the timing is right for this venture. Players need to know that there is someone with badminton knowledge there and willing to help them and that someone is us. We have all the contacts and all the expertise to deliver and we look forward to a healthy relationship with all players globally” Mathieu Argellies (Partner GPM)

GPM has already been active in the market developing and growing a team of top class professional badminton players. We are delighted to have players such as Pi Hongyan (main image), Jan O Jorgensen, Hans-Kristian Vittinghus (top left), Anthony Clark and Olga Konon (bottom right) in our current stable of over 30 badminton professionals and it is our policy to treat every player in a manner that we ourselves would wish to be treated.

“Mark Phelan has been involved in my career for the last few years and has always been there for me both as an advisor and a friend. Honesty, fairness and integrity are at the heart of his makeup and I know when my business is in Mark’s hands that business will be looked after efficiently and always to my liking” Olga Konon winner 2010 Norwegian Int and 2010 Italian Int.

“I have known and worked with Mathieu (GPM) for over five years, I can honestly say he is one of the most professional people I have ever worked with. If I ever had any problems Mathieu would always make sure that they were sorted for me. Anything I needed Mathieu always made sure that they were sent out accurately and swiftly. He is also one of the nicest people I have ever met and in the time I have known him it has been an honour to work with him” Anthony Clark

So if you’re a player, no matter what your level, who needs the assistance of experienced manager, a sponsor who is looking to invest in the fastest racket sport in the world, a club looking for professional players for next season or a badminton brand looking to source players just contact either Mark or Mathieu and we will be delighted to assist, advise and help.
