Premiership Experience Sports tour operator, Premiership Experience, run by founder Kieran Coyle, is pressing on with its impressive international expansion, especially in the United States and China. “I’ve just returned from Chicago where we attended the United Soccer Conference, where upwards of 15,000 coaches and officials heard about what we do. We’ve been working hard to bring many of them over to Europe to enjoy our elite level experiences.” Kieran won the Young Business Person of the Year Award, sponsored by City of Glasgow College while the company won the Best Performing Small-Medium Business Award, sponsored by Beam Digital and Design. He said that Pineapple dance studios, which has a collaboration with Premiership Experience, has been touring Scotland to nearly 70 schools with a team of professional dancers. “The response has been amazing. Seeing young people being given the experience of dancing and learning with the top in their field is unbelievable.” Premiership Experience has
