Simon’s Story
I’m Simon, a lifelong tennis coach, step dad, and now a two time cancer battler.
In January 2024 a rare skin cancer served me a brutal first set. Neck surgery, a year of immunotherapy, and even a “gamma-knife” treatment for two tiny brain lesions later, I’m still standing, just with numb shoulders and wobbly legs to prove it.
Those months off court hit my pride and my pay-check hard. But they also showed me what matters: showing up, staying humble, and giving back to the people who kept me in the game.
Why I’m Launching Bumblez Racquet sundries store
Flexibility for Recovery – Coaching three hours a day is my current limit; an online store lets me earn around hospital visits.
Gear Chosen by a Coach – I know which grips, strings, and accessories genuinely help players level up, because I use them myself.
Purpose Over Profit – For every retenser sold, £5 goes straight to charities that had my back when I needed it the most.
Every Purchase Powers a Comeback
Each order you place helps me rebuild, on and off the court. You’re not just buying tennis gear, you’re helping me stand tall again. Thank you for being part of the rally.
Bumblez x S’wheat
We’ve teamed up with S’wheat, the creators of the world’s first plant-based reusable bottle, to launch an exclusive eco-friendly merch line for our community.
Every branded Bumblez x S’wheat bottle is made from sustainably sourced materials, and for each order, a native tree is planted in your name trackable via QR code.
And that’s not all for every bottle sold, Bumblez will also donate an additional £5 to charity in your name, supporting mental health initiatives across the country.
Smart design, minimal waste, real impact.
Better for your brand. Better for the planet.

Let customers speak for us
Love the retenser,
Super easy to use and a great way for players to test out different string tensions to find their perfect fit, or even change it mid match for that extra zip on the serve or control on the volley. Feels great
Loved the products Simon. Will definitely buy again
