Wayne Dobson, a former star magician on ITV, whose illustrious career was tragically curtailed by Multiple Sclerosis 30 years ago, is set to make a triumphant comeback to the West End with a tribute show where he will showcase his magic once more.

The spectacular evening of magic and illusion, titled ‘One Night Only – An Evening with Wayne Dobson and Friends’, will grace the esteemed stage of His Majesty’s Theatre on September 17th, 2023.

Hailing from Leicester, Wayne Dobson enjoyed a dazzling career that included three prime time series ‘A Kind of Magic’ on ITV, each attracting over 11 million viewers. His breakthrough moment came in 1989 when he stole the spotlight on The Royal Variety Show, garnering rave reviews. Throughout the 1990s, Wayne embarked on a UK tour with the largest travelling illusion show ever witnessed in the country.

However, destiny dealt Wayne a cruel hand; as his career soared, he was confronted with a diagnosis of MS. Gradually, the disease robbed him of his ability to walk, the use of his hands, confined him to a wheelchair, and affected his speech. In spite of these challenges, Wayne persevered, primarily performing for fellow magicians around the world at magic events. He returned to the public stage two years ago with his one-man show, receiving widespread acclaim.

Reflecting on his journey, Wayne Dobson shared, “It was in Denver, Colorado, 20 years ago. After performing for the public, I looked at myself in the dressing room mirror and thought, ‘That’s it. I’m finished.’ I continued performing for magicians worldwide and inventing magic tricks for them, but I doubted that the public would embrace a comedy magician in a wheelchair.”

“Two years ago, I decided to test the waters with a couple of one-man shows for the public in intimate venues, and the overwhelming reactions and love I received were beyond my imagination. So, I’ve continued performing shows, and despite being in a wheelchair with speech challenges, the shows have grown in strength and have been incredibly well-received.”

“Now, I’m making a bold return to the West End, gracing a major theatre for one unforgettable night. I’m immensely proud of the show that I and my showbiz friends have put together, and I hope the public will come to see me while also supporting the MS Society.”

Wayne is brimming with excitement as he brings together an exceptional cast:

Wayne Dobson: Magic legend, renowned for TV’s ‘A Kind of Magic’, performing alongside onstage partner Mike Sullivan.
Hans Klok: Las Vegas headliner, a master illusionist, and a magic superstar, making a UK comeback after 8 years.
Sooty with Richard Cadell: Celebrating Sooty’s 75th year, presented live on stage.
Richard Cadell: Illusionist, appearing with Linda Lusardi, Wayne’s onscreen assistant from ‘A Kind of Magic’.
Paul Zerdin: Star ventriloquist, Winner of America’s Got Talent, and headliner of London Palladium’s annual panto show.
Kayden Black: International illusionist and star of the ‘Illusion Impossible’ touring show.
Scott Penrose: Former President of The Magic Circle, an award-winning magician, and inventor.
GLOWE: Singing sensation, featured on Netflix and Radio 1.
Award-winning magician and Wayne’s performing partner.
Clinton Baptiste: Comedy psychic from Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights, hosting the night’s proceedings.

The West End revival promises to be an unforgettable evening, marking Wayne Dobson’s triumphant return to the spotlight while raising support for the MS Society.

Renowned Royal Warrant Holder – Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company, with an unwavering commitment to bolster local farmers and fortify sustainability, embarks on a dynamic collaboration with Devon Duvets to forge an exclusive and groundbreaking collection.

Amanda Oldfield, the visionary behind Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company, established this familial enterprise over two decades ago. Nestled within the expanse of the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, the company arose from her realisation that discerning furniture choices are paramount in furnishing one’s home.

Distinguished as a Carbon Neutral entity and a steadfast Made in Britain constituent, the business’s ethos revolves around sustainability, championing local farmers, and meticulously handcrafting products from 100% British-originating raw materials. A determined course led them to the decision to intensify their ecological aspirations by dissociating from external suppliers and instead nurturing an in-house team of artisans, utilizing locally sourced components.

This holistic endeavor gains prominence ahead of their upcoming collection of meticulously handcrafted bedding, poised for launch in September. A logical extension of their well-received Sandringham Wool range introduced in April 2023, this forthcoming line extends the legacy of authenticity and traceability that garnered acclaim.

Leveraging a partnership with the Sandringham Estate, the limited wool mattress assortment forges a tangible link to the very farms of Sandringham, tracing back to individual bales of wool. Collaborating alongside the esteemed Made in Britain member Devon Duvets, the united team endeavors to augment the Sandringham Wool Collection with a novel selection of wool bedding, notable for its absolute traceability.

However, the selection of Devon Duvets for this exclusive venture was no random choice. Amanda Oldfield elucidated, “Our journey at Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company has revolved around authenticity, transparency, and craftsmanship of the highest echelon. Sourcing indigenous materials has been pivotal in our narrative of minimising ecological impact. To remain steadfast in our convictions, we sought a British partner sharing analogous values. The synergy between our two family-run enterprises was truly remarkable. Our association with Devon Duvets was an organic evolution, driven by their exceptional handcrafted approach in their Devon workshops. The convergence of our shared membership within the esteemed Made in Britain association underscores our commitment to authentic British craftsmanship and ensures customers of the genuine provenance of our creations.”

Pauline Beijen, Co-Founder and Director of Devon Duvets, echoed the sentiment of shared enthusiasm and the alignment of values. “Devon Duvets was born from our unwavering resolve to support British sheep farmers, championing their interests in a market grappling with fair pricing. Employing British wool and eschewing chemical-laden processes, we unfailingly adhere to the tenets of British manufacturing. Our bespoke products, meticulously crafted by our seasoned seamstresses in Devon, encapsulate the essence of British-made. The prospect of collaborating with Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company, who mirror our dedication to sustainability, ethical sourcing, and craftsmanship, is a source of immense delight. This symbiotic partnership has the potential to illuminate the legacy of British wool, renowned for its quality for centuries.”

British wool farmers currently grapple with unprecedented challenges, a confluence of heightened demand for British wool fleece coupled with economic and environmental impediments. Wrought Iron Brass Bed Company and Devon Duvets envision a transformative trend, harnessing British farms as a sustainable resource. By propagating the adoption of local suppliers, they champion the ethos upheld by Made in Britain, which brings together a community of nearly 2,000 SME manufacturers under the aegis of the iconic Made in Britain mark, an emblem synonymous with authentic British origin.

John Pearce, CEO of Made in Britain, warmly embraced the alliance between these esteemed members. “This collaboration between two pioneering British brands marks a leap forward in sustainable home and living sector manufacturing. Wrought Iron Brass Bed Company, animated by their ethical convictions and environmental consciousness, embarked on a quest for a British bedding brand that shared their ethos of domestic production. In Devon Duvets, they found the perfect match. Every holder of the Made in Britain mark undergoes rigorous verification, assuring businesses and consumers alike that the product bears the hallmark of authentic British manufacturing,” noted Made in Britain CEO John Pearce.

Scheduled to make its grand debut in late September 2023, this captivating expansion of the venerable Sandringham Collection by Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company is a harmonious union with fellow Made in Britain stalwart, Devon Duvets. This extraordinary collaboration invites patrons to luxuriate in the embrace of genuinely British wool bedding, ensconced within the legacy of authentic craftsmanship. Stay tuned for updates on the eagerly awaited Sandringham Wool Bedding Collection.

Hailing from the intellectual precincts of Cambridge, UK, Lycotec emerges as a vanguard in the realm of diagnostic-driven nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and functional food innovations, orchestrated to decelerate or even reverse the somatic and physiological transformations intertwined with the passage of time. The canvas of their expertise spans across a spectrum, mitigating the cascading effects of ageing on the human form. http://www.lycotec.com/

A chapter of cosmic audacity unfurls as Lycotec’s proposal for an epoch-defining anti-ageing study finds its empyreal spotlight at the 12th International Space Station Research and Development Conference, a symposium orchestrated by NASA, the ISS U.S. National Laboratory, and the eminent American Astronautical Society. https://www.issconference.org/

Microgravity, the celestial enigma that embraces space, orchestrates a symphony akin to temporal metamorphosis, culminating in a diminution of skeletal muscle and bone mass within astronauts—a parallel to the ageing transmutations transpiring on Earth, albeit accelerated manifold. The nexus between these parallels unfolds as a singular locus, a crucible for testing the potency of nascent nutraceuticals and functional food iterations. These culinary marvels bear the potential to ameliorate and even redress these physiological alterations within months, a contrast to the multitudinous years entailed by terrestrial anti-ageing investigations.

Stalwart luminary, Dr. Ivan Petyaev, architect of Lycotec’s transcendental vision, bequeathed the exposition of this astral odyssey on the fated day of 3rd August 2023. The blueprint, rendered in two cardinal fragments—observational and interventional—commences its journey with a meticulous evaluation of the fluxes transpiring within one of the cardinal tissue parameters, the intricate tapestry of oxygenation. The subsequent phase materialises as the apotheosis of Lycotec’s innovation—where nutraceuticals and functional food entrants hold the scepter. Here, they resonate as agents of transformation, sculpting the very terrain of physiological existence.

Dr. Ivan Petyaev, luminary orchestrator and harbinger of Lycotec’s momentum, extols, “The crucible of accelerated ageing within a microgravity crucible not only augments our insight into prolonging the journey of astronauts in the cosmos but also extends its embrace into terrestrial realms—an epoch of anti-ageing vistas amplifying health sustenance on Earth and conceivably extending the tapestry of our own longevity.”

This pantheon of culinary marvels is grounded in bioactives—the very quintessence of nourishment—that transmute the theatrical stage of nourishment into a theatre of rejuvenation. A symphony of safety underscores their virtuosity, validated through an orchestration of clinical enclaves—a testament to their transformative potential. From clinical trials involving the elderly to those encompassing individuals straddling diverse gradations of muscle atrophy or restricted mobility, the efficacy of these edibles has radiated with consistency.

In the cradle of time, Lycotec now embarks on an epoch of alliance forging, nurturing the birth of synergies that transcend borders and horizons. This isn’t a mere cosmic undertaking; it’s an overture—an overture that echoes through the annals of celestial expeditions, bestowing not only vitality to astronauts during their odysseys amidst the cosmos but also distilling vitality into terrestrial lives, orchestrating the harmonics of quality existence while potentially extending the threads of human longevity.

Dive into the future of age modulation, guided by Lycotec’s vision—celestial in origin, terrestrial in impact.

Sales soar by 20% to £2.4 million at former Made In Chelsea star Oliver Proudlock’s male jewellery brand Serge DeNimes

Sales are booming at former Made In Chelsea star Oliver Proudlock’s male jewellery brand Serge DeNimes following a successful American launch.

Jewellery-loving stars such as Harry Styles and Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton are inspiring a new generation of men to accessorise with rings, bracelets and chains.

Proudlock is creative director and founder of the brand and oversees four new collections a year including the new Seven Wonders pieces.

Sales rose by 20% from £2 million in 2021 to £2.4 million in 2022.

Based on its consistent levels of growth over the last 12 years and the big push in the States, sales are projected to hit £4 million this year and more than £6 million in 2024.

Serge has benefited from the popularity of ‘kidult’ jewellery with style icons such as singer Styles celebrating nostalgia with beaded designs reminiscent of their childhood.

Proudlock, 34, who studied fine art at university and started Serge in 2011 before joining the E4 series, said: “We are very grateful to stars such as Lewis Hamilton who wears Serge jewellery so beautifully and has made such a powerful fashion statement with his heavily ringed fingers and stylish accessorising with silver.

“Other stars such as Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes and Frankie Ocean wear their jewellery with pride and have inspired growing numbers of men to try new Serge pieces.

“Jewellery was once seen as an afterthought like a hat or watch but now it is making the whole outfit.

“Men are increasingly using accessories as a really powerful way to communicate and we are delighted to be at the forefront of that trend.

“That truly genderless feel in fashion – where partners can share what they like to wear – has been massive for us. We are not just a men’s brand and have increasing numbers of female customers. Men’s pinky rings are the same size as most women’s middle fingers.”

Proudlock uses silver for all the Serge pieces.

He explained: “Phrases such as worth its weight in gold or silver have stood the test of time for a very good reason and quality runs through everything we do.

“We work incredibly hard to stay abreast of new trends and launch four new collections a year. We are so proud of the new Seven Wonders pieces which take a step back in time to reconnect with the ancient wonders that continue to shape contemporary art.”

Serge DeNimes staged a successful pop-up in New York two years ago and last October the brand launched its own US website and warehousing so it could ship directly to US customers.

It is now stocked in the US by retail giants such as Macey’s – Bloomingdale’s – and overall US sales have shot up.

“Growth in America has been astronomical,” said Proudlock. “There has been a huge push and we have new stockists on the East and West coasts as well as Canada.”

The plan is to roll out further websites and warehousing in Australia, Asia and throughout Europe.

Stockists are growing in the UK including Selfridge’s, Liberty and Urban Outfitters and, while the brand is wholly self-funded, it may seek investment in the future to drive this global expansion.

A key part of its success has been bringing in retail operating specialists Inventory Planner, whose software has improved Serge’s online performance and ensured it is not left with excess stock.

Proudlock said: “We have found Inventory Planner has been really useful in helping us to manage our stock better.

“Far more of what we are buying is sold and only limited numbers are going into sale.

“It makes the brand more profitable and makes us much more sustainable because there is so little wastage.

“We use this software to be bigger globally. One of our biggest struggles before we started using Inventory Planner was keeping a close handle on stock throughout the seasons.

“We stock 480 products and the team were trying to keep abreast of them all line by line and we found we were gambling too much on what we thought would work, rather than using the sales data to drive our decisions.

“We went into sales too much and it was devaluing the brand. We have been able to avoid those mistakes with better stock control, and that is all down to Inventory Planner.

“It has helped us to be more smart with money and not have stock tied up needlessly.”

Old Etonian Proudlock first joined Made In Chelsea in the second series and stayed till the 9th season.

He has made occasional appearances since then while concentrating on his business career and role as a key fashion influencer.

He married his long-time girlfriend Emma Louise Connolly, 31, two years ago and their baby daughter Bonnie recently celebrated her first birthday.

Serge has six members of staff and is based in Colchester in Essex.

Serge DeNimes managing director Samuel Darcy explains more about the success of the brand on Brightpearl’s Lightning 50 Podcast.

He told the L50 podcast: “I joined seven years ago when we were transitioning from apparel into men’s jewellery.

“When we started there were not many competitors and now there are dozens which is a good judge of our success.

“That shift to where an accessory such as jewellery can be the defining part of a man’s outfit – the statement item and inspired by the likes of Harry Styles and Pharrell Williams – has been massive for us.”

Darcy said that using Inventory Planner had been a big help to the business, adding: “It helps me to zero in on new ranges and understand better what we need to do to maximise sales.

“It has also been a life saver in allowing us to stop recording all our sales in spreadsheets. I don’t think I could sleep if I had to go back to those days!”

The Emergence of AI Algorithms: Unveiling How Machines Excel Human Traders in Portfolio Diversification

As inflation escalates, the value of numerous investors’ assets has witnessed a stark decline. Just in the past year, retirees encountered a staggering loss of $3 trillion as the stock market plummeted due to economic and geopolitical uncertainties. This turmoil has spurred a renewed focus on diversifying portfolios to navigate risks and optimise returns, preserving nest eggs. While traditionally entrusted to human traders armed with quantitative wizardry, a new era powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), exemplified by Chat GPT, is sweeping through Wall Street, orchestrating efficient strides towards optimal states.

This discourse delves into the competitive edge Quantum AI algorithms possess in the realm of diversification, illuminating their transformative influence on the investment landscape.

Unbiased Cognitive Facets

AI algorithms wield a monumental advantage over human traders through their impeccable ability to remain impartial. Human traders frequently succumb to behavioral biases such as overconfidence, loss aversion, anxiety, fear, and the herd mentality, which often result in suboptimal decisions. Infamous instances of rogue traders causing immense losses to their organisations are abundant. The likes of Jerome Kerviel, who, during 2006-2008, accrued $6.9 billion in losses at Societe Generale, serve as stark reminders.

AI algorithms, in contrast, dissect data devoid of emotion. This endows them with the prowess to unearth diversification opportunities across multifarious asset classes, culminating in a more judiciously diversified and harmonised portfolio. Operated by predefined rules, they function unencumbered by emotional interference, enabling steadfast adherence to diversification strategies and the evasion of impulsive actions that might detrimentally impact portfolio performance.

Enhanced Computational Velocity

Financial markets stand as arenas of dynamic competition, where shifts occur within seconds. The entities that capitalise on the fluidity of market data are the ones that generate alpha returns. The deployment of AI algorithms as integral components of hedge funds is a testament to this reality. Irrespective of an individual’s mathematical brilliance, inherent limitations exist when deciphering intricate relationships between assets.

AI algorithms, however, tirelessly analyse vast data volumes in real-time, unencumbered by breaks, biological needs, or reprieves. With rapid assessments of market trends, historical patterns, and macroeconomic elements, AI algorithms make split-second decisions to diversify portfolios, capitalising on emergent opportunities with greater finesse than human traders. They amalgamate and process copious data streams from diverse sources such as financial reports, economic indicators, news sentiment, and social media. This multifaceted assimilation unveils hidden correlations and patterns.

Evolving Learning Mechanisms

AI algorithms boast an ability to learn and adapt incessantly at remarkable velocities. Amidst the volatility of the global stage, these algorithms morph and refine their diversification strategies to align with shifting market conditions. The rapid advancement of quantum computing technologies has further accelerated this pace. Deep learning techniques empower algorithms to finetune strategies based on historical performances and real-time feedback.

This adaptive attribute ensures that portfolios remain optimised and resilient, even amid the tumult of uncertain market landscapes. These algorithms extensively engage in backtesting historical data, scrutinising their performance under varying economic scenarios. Forward testing solidifies their capacity to deliver as expected within real-time market dynamics. This dynamic equilibrium enhances the trustworthiness and credibility of AI-infused diversification strategies.

Real-Time Vigilance Over Risk

AI algorithms possess the capability to continuously monitor market dynamics and portfolio performance in real-time, devoid of reprieve. Their capacity to promptly identify deviations and anomalies from anticipated outcomes empowers them to trigger risk mitigation measures, thereby safeguarding portfolios from swiftly propagating contagions. This vigilance in real-time risk monitoring bolsters the adaptability of AI algorithms in swiftly adjusting to shifting market circumstances and precluding debacles similar to the 2008 crash.

Mitigating Overfitting

Human traders often unintentionally succumb to overfitting, modifying strategies based on historical outcomes. For instance, a trader harboring reservations towards stocks might disproportionately invest in real estate. This inclination can lead to missed opportunities and cataclysmic failures in times of unexpected events, such as a pandemic.

AI algorithms integrate advanced statistical methodologies to curtail overfitting, ensuring diversification strategies remain adaptable to diverse market scenarios.

Scalability and Steadfastness

AI algorithms constitute a boon for burgeoning fintech entities lacking the fiscal bandwidth to afford exorbitant salaries for financial traders. They facilitate astute asset and portfolio management without straining financial resources. The computational might of AI algorithms scales seamlessly, affording consistent analysis and attention to each portfolio. This scalability bolsters asset managers’ efficacy in catering to a broader clientele. It democratises diversification benefits, rendering them accessible to a broader spectrum of investors.

Minimised Transaction Costs

Portfolio diversification necessitates frequent asset transactions, incurring substantial costs for human traders. Quantum AI trading algorithms expertly optimise portfolio diversification with minimal transaction expenses. Algorithmic trading executions enable investment agencies to maximise returns while minimising expenditure.

The optimisation of portfolios empowers investors to limit risk exposure and augment risk-adjusted returns. As more individuals seek passive income avenues to circumvent inflation’s aftermath, the incorporation of AI in portfolio diversification is poised to ascend. However, vigilance remains necessary, as human oversight is pivotal in ensuring that capital remains unscathed from programming glitches or other unforeseen factors.

The synergy between the world’s top female professional golfers, an English singer-songwriter sensation, and groundbreaking eco-conscious water stations finds its nexus in the modern rendition of the 2023 AIG Women’s Open.

Bluewater, the pioneering Swedish entity renowned for its sustainable water purification and beverage solutions designed for homes, workplaces, and leisure, is poised to provide instant purified water to throngs of golf enthusiasts this week. Attendees of the prestigious 2023 AIG Women’s Open, held at the distinguished Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey, England, in proximity to London, between August 9 and 13, will enjoy access to this trailblazing and environmentally friendly water service.

Bengt Rittri, the visionary CEO and founder of Bluewater, expressed, “At Bluewater, we take immense pride in furnishing premium and sustainable hydration solutions for one of the globe’s premier sporting and entertainment extravaganzas. This event features not only luminaries from the realm of women’s professional golf but also the presence of a music icon like Ellie, coupled with the fervent spectators who rally behind these inspiring athletes competing in the championship.”

Bluewater has forged an exceptional ecosystem encompassing point-of-use water purifiers and reusable stainless-steel bottles, rendering event organisers forward-looking in their endeavor to break free from the historical dependence on disposable plastic bottles, and thereby mitigate the environmental repercussions associated with their usage.

At the iconic Walton Heath venue, Bluewater has outfitted nine distinct locales with its revolutionary water purification and dispensing solutions. A notable attraction stands as the ‘Wall of Water,’ prominently emblazoned with the championship’s vivacious visual identity, situated in the main spectator village. This immersive installation houses a high-brightness 55” television screen, adorned with tailor-made digital content to foster fan engagement. Tailored for world-class events and venues, the Bluewater Wall of Water seamlessly integrates a large-scale water dispensing solution with a singular brand activation platform, propelling sustainable communication opportunities to the forefront.

Bengt Rittri emphasised, “Events such as the AIG Women’s Open embody sustainability pioneers, effectively showcasing that hydration can be accomplished on a grand scale without resorting to the use of disposable plastic water bottles that pose threats to both our planet and human well-being.”

This convergence of elite athletes, an acclaimed music artist, and transformative eco-friendly water dispensing represents a compelling stride towards a more sustainable and progressive future.

Decoding the Enigma of Lettered Secrets on Car Number Plates: Insights from an Auto Expert

While most individuals recognise the conventional structure of car registration plates—comprising a blend of numbers and letters—few are aware that this amalgamation holds more than arbitrary significance.

It’s widely understood that the numerical element of the plate signifies the year of the vehicle’s registration, along with the specific half of the year during which this event transpired. For instance, in the current year, vehicles registered before September 1st feature a 23 number plate, while those registered thereafter display a 73.

However, a lesser-known fact pertains to the dual letters that precede the numerals. Jon Kirkbright, Sales Director at Private Number Plates and boasting over a decade of experience in the field, unveils these letters’ hidden purpose.

Kirkbright explains, “To the untrained eye, number plates might appear as an arbitrary assortment of letters and numbers. While many are aware of the numbers’ tie to the car’s production and registration year, the hidden significance of the preceding letters might elude them. These letters serve as ‘regional identifiers,’ signifying the DVLA office responsible for the car’s registration.”

He further elucidates that this phenomenon could account for similar starting letters across multiple vehicles procured from the same dealership, dispelling the notion of mere coincidence.

For motorists seeking to acquire a personalised registration plate, this rule of regional identification no longer holds sway. These individuals are empowered to select their preferred letter and number composition.

Yet, Kirkbright underscores that private registration plates cannot be employed to confer the illusion of a more recent manufacturing year onto vehicles. He asserts, “Misrepresenting the registration is a punishable offence. While it’s permissible to make your car seem older than it truly is, you’re prohibited from making it appear newer. For instance, attaching an ’11’ number plate to a car from 2007 is not permissible.”

Those interested in concealing their vehicle’s age might find dateless private registration plates appealing. Kirkbright notes, “Contrary to popular belief, dateless personalised registrations are often available at budget-friendly prices. These are an ideal choice for those seeking an utterly distinctive plate or one that obscures their car’s age. However, such plates tend to move swiftly.”

Armed with this knowledge of concealed letter meanings, original plate holders can unveil their car’s registration location using the following guide:

In a remarkable development, the co-founders of Citypark Fitness, namely Steven Dick and Scott Agnew, have opted to withdraw from their active roles in the management of Citypark Fitness after a notable tenure of eight years.

This decision has been prompted by their determination to concentrate their endeavors on the operations of The Fitness Group Education Limited, an institution dedicated to providing prospective personal trainers with a comprehensive and intricate education that transcends the boundaries of conventional fitness training.

Citypark Fitness, an eminent establishment encompassing a vast 7,000-square-foot independent gym enterprise, was initiated in 2015 by the collaborative efforts of Steve, Scott, and Thomas Anderson. Nestled within the edifice of Citypark in Dennistoun, Glasgow, this enterprise has flourished remarkably over the years.

Despite the triumphant journey that Citypark Fitness has undertaken, both Scott and Steven have come to a somber conclusion that the time has come for them to take a step back. Expressing his sentiments, Steven Dick shared, “Our collective journey, as orchestrated by Thomas, Scott, and myself, steering the course of Citypark Fitness since its inception in 2015, has been an overwhelmingly positive experience. While the pandemic ushered in its share of challenges, we seized the opportunity to reorient our offerings towards small group training, which has not only proven to be a resounding success for our team but has also been transformative for our members, enhancing their lives through specialised support.”

Citypark Fitness shall continue its operations under the stewardship of Thomas Anderson, who will lead the charge in cultivating a dynamic and illustrious fitness culture within Glasgow. Steven, with optimism, voiced his outlook for Citypark’s exciting future:

“The recent appointment of a new gym manager has invigorated our establishment, and the trajectory of excellence, marked by positive outcomes and sustained growth over the past biennium, shall remain unimpeded. Thomas, in tandem with Peter, our gym manager, and the entire Citypark Fitness Team, will drive this enterprise forward, bolstered by my unwavering support.”

The Fitness Group Education, a brainchild of Steven and Scott that emerged in 2018, sprung from their personal challenges in recruiting adept personal trainers for Citypark Fitness. Conceived with the intent of disseminating their insights to equip future trainers with a profound skill set that transcends the bounds of conventional training certificates, the institution strove to elevate the benchmarks of education within the fitness realm.

The reach of The Fitness Group Education extended far beyond its Glasgow origins. With an expansion that spanned key locations in the UK including Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, and London, it ventured into the realm of online education, providing pioneering courses in personal training and sports massage to learners both domestic and international. The institution has gained the trust of esteemed bodies such as the Ministry of Defence, TRX, Strength and Conditioning Education, The PFA, My PT Hub, English League Education, among other notable organisations.

The fundamental ethos of The Fitness Group Education revolves around furnishing aspiring personal trainers with a foundational comprehension of health, fitness, and nutrition, in addition to the subtler nuances of fitness and wellness, encompassing realms like emergency first aid, pre and post-natal qualifications, mental health awareness, and adeptly leading physical activities for adolescents.

Steven Dick elaborated, “The Fitness Group Education stands at the vanguard of accessible education that is geared towards empowering personal trainers. In an era rife with a glut of specialised gyms and fitness technology, the upcoming generations must take charge of their own well-being and inspire the next wave of entrepreneurial personal trainers.”

While Steven Dick and Scott Agnew may be relinquishing their roles, the resonance of Citypark remains deeply ingrained in their hearts. With its unparalleled offerings, including cutting-edge equipment from renowned brands such as Life Fitness and Jordan Fitness, bespoke female group training sessions, personalised mentoring, and with the blessings of The Fitness Group Education, the horizons for Citypark Fitness appear boundless.

Steven concluded with a note of anticipation, “My affiliation with The Fitness Group Education shall persist, firmly cementing Citypark Fitness as a hub within Glasgow. This collaboration is poised to engender a future brimming with promise for both entities.”
