Former FitPro head of commercial operations Mel Spooner has embarked on a new venture – launching fitness-focused project management firm The Project Network.

Having spent 12-years in the commercial fitness market working for the likes of Technogym, PTA Global and TRX, Spooner decided the time was right to harness her experience in the form of a new private company.

Spooner’s business is a portfolio of six brands, providing bespoke project management for the global fitness industry. The network will specialise in handling fitness industry projects including business development, strategic development, training and education, events management and sales marketing.

“It’s been a really exciting first three months for the business and I am overwhelmed and thankful for the support from my industry friends and colleagues,” Spooner told Health Club Management, having just signed a two-year contract to coordinate the international education strategy for foam roller supplier TriggerPoint.

“I feel terribly lucky to enjoy the versatility of the business which allows The Project Network to impact a multitude of brands and challenges and industry-changing concepts in partnership with our clients and global networks."
