Wirral Chamber recognise that it is important on a number of levels and are excited about working with Underground Training Station. UTS is a cutting edge health and fitness centre who have invested heavily in Hoylake and have earnt a deserved reputation as the leading gym on the Wirral, but Andy is particularly impressed with the broader work that UTS do. “It is crucial for Wirral business that all of the borough’s human capital is fully realised and I have been inspired by the vision and approach of UTS Foundation to empower as many people as possible realise their full potential.” The Foundation’s five year project will provide accessible and free structured coaching, health and well-being sessions to recovering cancer patients and vulnerable community groups across the Wirral. The UTS Foundation will work in partnership with a range of agencies, such as the NHS, police, youth service, youth offending teams, schools, colleges and youth clubs to achieve this. Dr Colin Robertson, Director and Lead Coach at UTS is equally enthused: “We feel both privileged and delighted to be working as a strategic partner with Wirral Chamber. Our shared aim is to guide the development of the borough, not just from a health, fitness, and wellness perspective, but by empowering businesses and giving them the opportunity to play and be an active part in the exciting UTS foundation initiative and vision.” TURKISH AIRLINES Turkish Airlines will work together with Wirral Chamber of Commerce on the growing number of inbound and outbound international trade and investment delegations they are organising.
