Jon Johnston, the managing director of Matrix Fitness Systems has been appointed managing director of Matrix's sister company, Johnson Health Tech.

Johnston will continue to work in a dual role and will oversee operations for both organisations.

The UK distributor of Horizon and Vision home fitness equipment brands, Johnson Health Tech, is owned by the same parent company as Matrix.

Johnston said: "I will be taking a strategic managerial approach with both organisations. This will not effect the growing success of Matrix."
