The British Franchise Association (bfa) held its AGM last week in Birmingham and announced its elected Board of Directors. We are delighted to confirm that Phil Gaffer from Premier Sport was elected by fellow full members to the bfa Board of Directors.

For three years prior to the appointment, Phil has enjoyed the role of Regional Chair for the bfa South West and Midlands Forum. This role has enabled Phil greater insight into the governance and values of the bfa.

Premier Performing Arts street dance crew officially opened Clacton’s late night shopping centre this Christmas by wowing the crowds with their popping, locking and breaking routines throughout the evening.

And then, as if from nowhere, the shoppers looked on in disbelieve as the ‘Rockin’ Robin’ song sounded out before Premier Performing Arts flash mob broke into song and dance amongst the shoppers leaving the festive crowds “feeling all Christmassy” as one person commented.

Ross Mackay, once inspired by Premier Sport in his middle school, has followed his ambition to become a sporting role model to children in Colchester, as he begins his coaching journey with Premier Sport.

This keen sportsman began his love for all sports when the Premier Sport coaching team visited his middle school weekly.

From his own experience, Ross values the importance of having positive role models within the school environment, which is why he has now set his sights on having the same impact on children across Colchester.

Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma Research Fund has recently launched the Outdoor Kids Sun Safety Code, providing specific guidelines for all those who work outdoors with children. An article published by Govtoday praised Premier Sport for supporting the Sun Safety Code.   

Chief Executive David Batch said:
"As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the standard of care we deliver, this summer we introduced the Outdoor Kids Sun Safety Code. The wellbeing of children whilst in our care is paramount and we felt that this should extend to sun protection. We embedded the guidelines into our business practices and now all our coaches lead by example."

It was Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day in December and our head office team made the world better with a sweater raising £115. This total is set to double as the government is matching every pound raised for the children’s charity.
