History
Sovereign-Sports was established by Ian Derek Kennard, a second-generation tennis court builder. Ian’s father, Derek Kennard, originally began building tennis courts back in the mid-1960s. Ian decided to work with him and eventually in the mid-1970s set up his own company. Now Ian Derek’s two sons, Ian and Steven Kennard (3rd generation) have followed their father into the family business.
In 2020 Dave Varela joined Sovereign Sports, Dave brought to the company an unparalleled knowledge of network infrastructure, electrical engineering and business operations management.
