Hart joins Keepme with over 25 years’ experience in the fitness industry having worked for the likes of Fitness First, Soho Gym’s and The Gym Group in various Business Development, Operations and Senior Management roles.

She joins Keepme as their newly appointed Director of Customer Success and will be responsible for the implementation and delivery of the platform at customer sites. Along with managing the support function, Hart will play a key role in working with customers to understand how they use Keepme, and ensuring it meets their ongoing requirements.

Commenting on the how the business has developed in the current climate, Keepme founder and Chief Executive, Ian Mullane (pictured above) explained “despite the challenges of this lockdown period, Keepme has seen some great successes and continued to grow. The investment will allow us to invest in the resources to continue our development that has seen us gain customers in eight countries in the last 12 months.

“I’d also like to welcome our newest board members Natasha and Dan as well as Amanda to the Keepme team. Between the three of them they have a wealth of knowledge that will be invaluable for us in this exciting next phase of our development and I look forward to having them on board with us.”
