Q: What will be the cause of any changes in the market? A: Expansion finance should become more accessible as brands deliver trading evidence. This may then prompt the first wave of consolidation. However, acquisitions will only take place if there remains a consistency around the enlarged business. Also, I’m looking forward to the opening of the first easyGym and tracking their progress. It’ll be interesting to see the value that consumers place on the ‘easy’ brand when choosing a low-cost gym to join.
