Glenn Earlam, 49, arrives with an impressive operating CV
David Lloyd Leisure (DLL) has announced that Glenn Earlam is joining the company as chief executive officer on 30 June.
Previously managing director of Midway Attractions, the largest operating business of Merlin Entertainments, Earlam has extensive operating experience.
His appointment will allow Scott Lloyd to take up the position of non-executive deputy chair, where he will play an active role in defining the corporate and strategic development of the group.
“We believe that Glenn will be able to take us to the next level and ensure that we continue to attract new customers and reward the loyalty of our longstanding members,” said Scott Lloyd in a statement.
Earlam says he is delighted to be joining one of the country’s most recognised leisure brands: “Scott and his team have built a great platform with TDR supporting significant investment across the estate. I am looking forward to continuing the development and future expansion of the group, delivering world class facilities and an outstanding experience for our members.”
DLL has 81 clubs in the UK and 10 in continental Europe. After being acquired by TDR Capital in November 2013, DLL has spent £25m upgrading its estate and plans to invest a further £90m up to the end of 2016.
It’s been five years since the fitness industry reopened after the last lockdown – long enough
to look back on the impact the pandemic had on the sector and what might come next.
Wattbike has announced a new integration with EGYM, which enables the bikes to contribute to
the Cardio BioAge score of individuals via a VO2 max result.
Les Mills has launched a reformer Pilates workout. The 45-minute workout blends traditional
reformer movements and more contemporary exercises, choreographed to music.
Panatta brought together four of the most influential figures in bodybuilding history on the
stage of RiminiWellness 2026: Phil Heath, Lee Haney, Ronnie Coleman and Hany Rambod. [more...]
