Former professional footballer and gym owner Jamie Cartwright has joined MyZone UK as customer experience manager to support the wearable tech company’s continued growth.

Cartwright will be responsible for helping existing MyZone facilities to maximise their member engagement along with assisting UK director Jonathan Monks with new business and key accounts.

“I’ve known Jamie for over 10 years and use to rely on his expertise to speak at the IOU (Independent Operators Unite) events that we used to host at the NEC,” said Dave Wright CEO and creator of MyZone.

“He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in both commercial sales and a deep understanding of operating a successful health club. It’s a privilege that he’s come on board.”

Cartwright said the scale of MyZone’s reach – the company now works with 3,500 facilities across 32 countries – was one of the factors that drew him to the company.

“I’m delighted to help assist with the company’s further growth,” added Cartwright. “It’s also a fantastic opportunity for me to work with the technology leader along with industry leading people, and most of all with a product that helped shape how fitness is delivered today and in the future”.
