Before creating GTH Solutions I was the HR/Operations Director (shareholder) with Lifetime Health and Fitness (www.lifetimehf.co.uk).

I formed part of the strategic Board and operational team that directed the business through extensive growth and many successes.

My background before this was working for some of the largest leisure companies in the world, TUI and The Tussauds Group being two of the largest.

I believe people management is enabling people so they can perform better! An organisation can spend a lot of time and money identifying what it can’t do but at some point it has to commit to a solution that enables performance.

Im one of the very rare people that can use emotional intelligence, qualification (CIPD qualified), experience (over 20 years) and corporate strategy to work with people and drive performance to impact profit and I love it!!

A good company can so easily fail when it doesn’t focus on culture, behavior and people management.

‘We don’t want people to fail’ (Gerwyn House; Guardian Educational Supplement March 2009; Access all Areas supporting Lifetime to win the BECTA Next Generation Learning Award).

  • Fitness

  • Overseas operations
  • Recruitment
