Management company 3d Leisure has named Paul Ramsay as its new managing director, replacing Mark Bremner in the role.

The change at the top will see Bremner taking on the role of chair of the company and will continue to chair the board of directors.

Ramsay has been with 3d Leisure for 25 years, working his way up from gym instructor and through the ranks from club manager to regional manager and eventually to operations director.

"Paul’s commitment and loyalty to the company has been unwavering over his time here and he is to be warmly congratulated on this appointment," the company said in a statement.

The change comes as 3d Leisure has secured a number of new contracts recently – in both the hospitality and corporate sectors.

As a result of the growth the company has also added to its regional management team and central support team. The moves include the appointment of Paul Dickinson and Dan Glue as operations directors.
