Premier Training doubles tutor team to support growth plans
Premier Training International has doubled the number of personal training tutors it employs across the UK as the company bids to accelerate growth and keep up with market demand.
The training provider has added 40 new tutors to its existing team of 40 and the new recruits will be based nationwide in the 42 training venues Premier Training International (PTI) operates from.
The move comes as parent company Premier Global seeks to make good on the growth strategy of its American owners. Having been bought by Ascend Learning in mid-2014, Premier Global was recently subject to a strategic review which saw a reshuffle of management. Suzy Gunn was appointed operations director of Premier Global, while Nick Harding joined the team as financial director from energie Group and Belinda Moore took on the role of commercial director.
The new additions to the Premier Training tutor team are expected to help kickstart the growth strategy and they arrive with a broad range of backgrounds. Across the 40 personnel, tutors have experience across functional and high performance training, pre- and post-natal, as well as rehabilitation expertise, physiotherapists, a wellness coach for the NHS, a Guinness World Record Holder as well as an ex-professional footballer. The tutors will be running the flagship Diploma in Personal Training, as well as 23 other health and fitness courses.
“We are pleased to welcome our new tutors to the team and what a team we have,” said Suzy Gunn, operations director of Premier Global.
“We have a strong tutor team in place to ensure our graduates leave our academies with the very best education, learning, confidence and enthusiasm for creating healthier communities.”
