ABOUT US
Global Sports Insight That Drives Our Client Success.
General Sports Worldwide (GSW) was founded in 1998 by Andy Appleby with a single, clear ambition: to build a world-class sports and entertainment business. What followed was more than 25 years of growth, evolution and genuine impact across the global sports industry.
Today, GSW operates across the globe, works with clubs at every level of professional sport, and represents hundreds of athletes across multiple disciplines. The business has grown significantly – but the ambition that started it all has never changed.
We offer a range of specialist service areas, each delivered by a team with genuine, first-hand experience inside sport: including representation, consultancy services, team acquisitions and mergers and executive search. By combining strategic insight, commercial expertise and a deep understanding of sport’s cultural power, the organization is positioned to deliver meaningful impact – for partners, communities, and the industry as a whole.
GSW is built on a simple but powerful belief: Sport has a unique ability to bring people together in ways nothing else can.
