PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND My primary career path was in the newspaper and magazine sector, before moving into the leisure and FEC sector in 2003. I moved into fitness when F4F first arrived in the UK, to manage the UK expansion. BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’VE EVER BEEN GIVEN Finish what you start, do as you said you would, and thank people for their business. PEOPLE MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT...

MD: NEIL HENSHAW
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND My career started in the building industry, then moved into interior design. I entered the leisure industry in 1996 when I opened a tanning business. In 1997 I started Helio Fitness, opening my first fitness club; a second was added in 2000. In 2008 I repositioned the business with a high value offering and opened our flagship site in January 2011. BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’VE EVER BEEN GIVEN Trust your instinct. PEOPLE MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT... I’m partial to a bag of pork scratchings.
