Shearer Signs Up
Dubai Speedflex Deal
NUFC legend Alan Shearer has signed a deal in
Dubai for the Speedflex
Europe fitness brand to
open a new centre.
The Speedflex Europe ambassador met with businessman Tariqu Bacha (pictured)
to finalise the deal for a centre
at the Ocean View Hotel in
Jumeirah Beach.
Sage entrepreneur Graham
Wylie, who owns the European rights for Speedflex Europ
said: “Our current target is to
open 50 Speedflex centres in
the UK and we are currently
working on further expansion plan across Europe and
beyond.
Five top site managers were
named as the UK’s Supreme
Winners last month during
the NHBC Pride in the Job
Awards gala final, winning
house-building’s most coveted accolades for building homes of the highest
standard.
“The machines ‘sell themselves’, as users can burn
more calories than they
thought possible in a 45 minute session without any joint
or muscle soreness.
“That, with the personal
trainer involvement and the
wearing of a heart rate monitor, means it is a very safe
option whatever age and
fitness condition you are in.
It’s unique, there simply is
nothing like this out in the
marketplace.”
The plan is to expand into
between 50 and 100 locations
across Europe in the next
three years.
Pride in the Job is the only
UK-wide competition dedicated
to recognising the exceptional
people on the ground who oversee housing projects from start to
finish. The Awards have been run
by NHBC (National House-Building Council) – the UK’s leading
warranty provider and standards
setter for new-build homes – for
over three decades, and have
been instrumental in driving up
standards in new home construction.
