Living in Colchester Essex, Tony has been responsible for sales throughout Europe and beyond and it is fair to say Tony has amassed a high number of Air miles over the last few years. Tony is therefore looking forward to not spending so much time in the air as he launches his franchise in the Braintree territory.
Tony has always lead an active life and has a passion for sport. His beliefs in the benefits of an active life were formed at the start of his career when he was deployed as a Commando in the Royal Marines.

Steven has given himself a target of completing the renovation by September as thereafter it will be full on with the launch of his franchise.
I am delighted to welcome Jan, Gary, Tony, Chris and Steven to Premier Sport and it has been a pleasure working with them over the last few months as they have successfully completed the recruitment process. I am looking forward to following their success as they grow their businesses over the coming years.
