Vannin Sports Management Limited has been set up to provide support to young athletes as they embark on their journey from the top echelons of amateur competition and transition into the ranks of professional sport. Initially concentrating on supporting sportsmen and women from the Isle of Man, Vannin’s key aim is to smooth the initial part of this adventure by providing business and administrative support to its athletes, allowing them to concentrate on maximising their potential in their chosen sport. Vannin Sports Management was the idea of ex-RAF pilot Graeme Gault, local Isle of Man businessman Brian Kelly (who is heavily involved with golf and football on the Island) and Kreston IOM Sales and Marketing Consultant Rosemary Wright. The project started from an initial chat between Graeme and Rosemary at a business event in Dubai in mid-2017, with the business registered in February 2018. The company formally launched at Rowany Golf Club on the 10th of April 2018 with Graeme and Brian as Directors and Rosemary supporting the venture through Kreston Isle of Man as part of their Start-Up Incubator Programme.
