Fitness industry qualifications provider Focus Training has made a triple acquisition as it bids to bolster its student support team.

Sarah Boyd, Becky Thomson and Zoey Rufus – all experienced personal trainers with knowledge and expertise across a wide range of disciplines – have become part of the telephone-based advisory service.

The trio will be tasked with advising and guiding students throughout the duration of their training, ensuring that modules and workshops are completed on time and that students always have access to professional advice, support and information.

“Quality support from start to finish is a vital ingredient in the success of our students,” managing director Bob Ellis.

“Sarah, Becky and Zoey each have the practical experience and necessary management skills combined with a huge passion for fitness which is highly infectious.”
