The leading provider of sport and physical activity for many of the country’s primary schools, Premier Education, has announced its acquisition of Sweaty Mama. With headquarters in the Norfolk village of Shropham, Premier Education has taken over one of the fastest-growing fitness franchises in the UK.
Sweaty Mama, which was established in 2016 to provide group exercise sessions for mums and their babies, has a UK network of over 100 franchisees. They offer fitness classes in 285 locations and, with the backing of Premier Education, it is hoped the company will grow even quicker.
The chief executive of Premier Education, David Batch, said in a statement: “As an experienced franchisor with full British Franchise Association (BFA) membership, we continue our growth but without compromising our ethos of inspiring activity and creating futures.
“By having Sweaty Mama as part of our group is a fantastic addition and fits perfectly with our strategic objectives. We love the values that Sweaty Mama and its franchisees stand for, and we will further support the brand as it grows. We also offer mums, or anyone else looking to make a career change, the opportunity to develop a flexible and rewarding career on their own terms.”
