énergie Group has appointed two former big hitters at pizza franchise giant Domino’s as the fitness franchise's new group finance director and group acquisitions manager.
The appointments form the final stage of a plan to significantly increase central resources, which began in January this year with the recruitment of six new team members and a 25 per cent increase in the central support team.
Rob Lane will assume the position of group finance director, heading up the financial and commercial team at énergie’s Milton Keynes head office. His experience as property finance director at Network Rail and 10 years at Domino’s during a time of rapid growth proved appealing to the énergie Group as it aims to kickstart expansion by opening three clubs per month.
“I’m incredibly excited to join énergie at this pivotal time for the company,” said Lane. “The market positioning of the business, its foundation, stage of growth and values are incredibly similar to where Dominos was when I joined and I am confident that we will see a similar growth for énergie in the years to come.”
Meanwhile, Tom Poulton will take on the role of énergie Group acquisitions manager. Poulton served seven years at the company in acquisitions, including two years supporting Domino’s’ largest franchisee – who operated 120 units. With a total of 14 years’ experience in the acquisitions sector, Poulton boasts an extensive knowledge of UK territories and a strong pedigree in the franchise market.
“My appointment is a clear indication that énergie is seriously committed to expanding its portfolio and ensuring its franchisees have the best possible start to their investment,” said Poulton.
“The énergie franchise is a very similar set up to Domino’s, which will allow me to bring my knowledge, experience and expertise to the company and ensure we find and secure prime territories for the invested franchisees.”
