The industry we operate in is ever evolving and we are constantly reviewing our position and the role our staff play. The role they provide is no longer just that of a coach with knowledge in one sport.

Anji Rippon worked as a Primary School teacher for ten years in the North East before joining Premier Sport in early 2013. Anji’s true passion is dance so when the opportunity arose to launch her very own Premier Performing Arts business in Sunderland she didn’t think twice.

Premier Sport’s National Coach Training Development Officer, Andy Heald and Dr Colin Lee, a specialist in Primary Physical Education has been conducting surprise Ofsted style inspections across the Premier Sport network throughout March.

As a business this year we have already delivered thousands of physical activity events reaching even more children. The quality of the delivery is of upmost importance to us, to you and most importantly, the enjoyment and development of these young people taking part.

Year to date our franchisees have conducted 650 assessments on our Activity Professionals throughout the UK on a variety of curricular, extra-curricular and holiday events.

Our average score across all these assessments is 76% - Enhanced delivery – showing a full range of competencies and now focusing on high quality delivery, which means your staff are doing a lot of good work out there.

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.
