We Need Your Feedback!

Thank you for attending the 2018 Franchise National Training Event

To everyone who attended, we want to say a HUGE thank you for participating and making the event such a great success. Premier are honoured to have such a strong network of passionate people and we hope that the training was valuable and enables you to futureproof your business.

With this in mind, your feedback is extremely important, so we ask if you could all take five minutes to fill out the below survey.

New Balance Update

Over the last month our New Balance clothing has been flying off the shelf, and feedback from the network has been incredible.

Following on from this early success, we are excited to say that 20% of the network have already invested in this for their staff, and with limited stock remaining, we have placed another order with New Balance.

This order will extend our reach throughout the network to 60%, and will be arriving in June. We will have subsequent orders arriving between June and September to kit out the remainder of the network. To ensure that your recruitment processes remain uninterrupted, we will be able to supply the previous Premier Sport kit in the meantime. If you require this for new starters or to replace worn out kit, please contact [email protected].

We would also recommend that you place your orders for New Balance kit in advance of June, to ensure you receive it as quickly as possible.

It’s Official... Premier partner with British Gymnastics

Premier are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with British Gymnastics, that sees Premier become an Official Delivery Partner for Primary School Gymnastics within Premier franchise areas.

The relationship was an obvious one for both parties. Gymnastics was Premier’s most attended extra-curricular activity in 2017, with over 23,000 unique participants recorded. Not only is the sport popular with Premier, it’s one of the most in-demand in the country, with over 1 million people on a waiting list to participate.

This mutually beneficial partnership will:

• Extend the reach of Premier’s gymnastics activities
• Help to bridge the gap between demand and supply of gymnastics throughout the UK
• Introduce gymnastic holiday provisions
• Introduce exciting tailored training opportunities for Activity Professionals

Further develop Activity Professionals already delivering gymnastics.

Share the good news!

As you will remember, the partnership was officially announced at last week’s NTE, with external communication embargoed until further notice. This has now been lifted and you are free to announce the partnership across your social media channels.

To ensure that both Premier’s and British Gymnastics’ brand are protected, and that we are working within the agreed partnership terms we have developed a series of social media posts, graphics and profile banners for you to utilise. Find the download link below. This content has been approved by British Gymnastics and shouldn’t be adapted or amended in any way.

Jane Hannah (Partnership Manager) will be working closely with British Gymnastics over the forthcoming weeks to develop key priority areas for implementation from Summer term. Please if anybody has any questions about the partnership can you e mail [email protected] and a FAQ list will be compiled and shared. Also if you have specific ideas for growth within your territory.
