Appointment of Chief Executive Officer
The Gym Group, the nationwide operator of 230 low cost, high
quality, 24/7 no contract gyms, is pleased to announce the
appointment of Will Orr as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and
Executive Director of the Company. Will is expected to start later
in 2023 and will join the Board of Directors of the Company at that
time.
Will Orr joins the Gym Group from Times Media Limited, publisher
of the Times and Sunday Times, and is a proven business leader,
having led high-performing teams through substantial periods of
growth at Times Media, and also in previous Managing Director roles
for RAC and British Gas (Centrica Plc). Will brings significant
experience developing and delivering on pricing, proposition,
digital marketing and retention strategies, as well as operational
expertise whilst prioritising the customer experience, particularly
for subscription-based business models in the consumer and media
sectors.
John Treharne, Chair of The Gym Group Board, commented:
"I am delighted that Will is joining our Board and Executive
team to lead The Gym Group, as we continue to focus on delivering
our high-quality product at the lowest cost nationwide. Will brings
valuable skills and experience from customer-led growth in
membership businesses, particularly through digital growth
strategies, which are perfectly suited to deliver on our strategic
ambitions for the business. On behalf of my Board colleagues, I
welcome Will to The Gym Group and look forward to working
together."
Will Orr commented: "The Gym Group is a business I have admired
for some time, both for its impressive growth, and for its founding
mission to democratise fitness, something that is even more
important now than when its first gym opened 15 years ago. I'm
looking forward to building on the success the team have achieved
to date, leading the company through this next exciting phase of
its development and maximising the longer-term opportunity as the
demand for health, fitness and wellbeing continues to
increase."
