Border Rackets is owned and operated by Ken Williams – He has decades of experience playing racket sports and likes to joke that he even wants to win the warm-up (okay, maybe he isn’t joking).

Originally a tennis player he went over to the dark side (badminton) in his early-teens claiming numerous regional and county titles before discovering he wasn’t as good as he thought he was. Eventually, having worn out several important joints (knees, shoulder, hip, big right toe) he swapped smashing for stringing and now enjoys stringing, or talking about stringing (some would say drones on and on and on about it).

“The Devil is in the Detail” is Ken’s mantra – having built several successful businesses from the ground up, he is tuned in to the needs of customers and has the experience to know that great business relies on attention to detail. First-class customer service and personalised help are something of a rare commodity these days, but at Border Rackets we strive to deliver both.

When not harassing customers, polishing his stringing machine or interfering with the website, Ken can be found spending time with his family; mainly providing taxi services to his teenage sons, mending stuff, exploring the mundane, or spoiling ‘Barry’, a lazy, stubborn and portly English Bulldog. Some say dog owners often come to resemble their dogs….
