Steve Shaw has been named group account director at Precor as part of a new-look sales team at the fitness supplier.

Following sales director Jez Whitling’s recent departure after nearly 16 years at the helm, the company is reorganising its sales team and looking to make several new additions.

A spokesperson told Health Club Management that Shaw’s promotion will see him perform a different role to Whitling (who has become MD of Intenza Fitness UK), with Precor still recruiting for an overall head of UK position and a field sales manager.

Shaw, who has been with Precor since 2007, said of his new role: “The Precor UK sales team are extremely experienced and I’m looking forward to working with the group to continue to grow and manage the business.

“Precor continues to be at the forefront of innovation and we are privileged to be able to provide operators with high quality, technologically advanced equipment to enhance their business needs and help them achieve their goals.”

Meanwhile, Rachell Crew has joined Precor as sales consultant for the UK central region. Crew, formerly at Technogym, has gained valuable knowledge across all areas of the fitness industry during nearly 20 years in the business, having worked in various capacities at Alliance Leisure, PTE and as a fitness manager and instructor at various gyms.
