Webb – a former club operations director for Holmes Place – has a 21-year career in fitness and for the past 12 years has headed up the Core Health & Fitness’ export team as EMEA general manager.
Commenting on his new role, Message said: “I’m looking forward to putting my industry experience into improving and enhancing our customer offering and supporting our committed team in developing their roles and careers”.
