Due to the obvious success of Golden Mile licensees, the next generation of Premier Sport franchisees will automatically have Golden Mile included in their business offer from the outset.

The unique qualities of Golden Mile have proven to increase volume, increase price and reduce overheads for Premier Sport franchisees, which are the three fundamental factors of any successful business.

In last week’s news update we told you England Rugby World Cup winner, Jason Robinson would this week be visiting Gilnow Community school in Bolton.

We’re pleased to report the day was a huge success with all the pupils and Premier Sport Activity Professionals leaving the day feeling inspired by Jason’s story.

Premier Sport Activity Professional, Adam White from Clowne in Chesterfield has today set himself a challenge to cycle around 10 local schools in the Amber Valley region of Derbyshire all in aid of Sport Relief.

Adam would usually be delivering sports lessons in these schools for Premier Sport; but today he will be completing a couple of laps at each of the school’s playgrounds and taking a few pictures along the way.
