John Halls has been appointed managing director of family-run fitness solutions provider Physical Company with immediate effect.

John has literally grown up with Physical Company, having helped his mother Penny Halls when she started the business 26 years ago. In those early days John and his two brothers, Nick and Jason, would put together the orders and pack up products at the family home.

John joined Physical Company officially in 2006 as sales and marketing manager, while Nick focused on the logistics and Jason on finance and administration. The three brothers now run the business jointly: Penny Halls has officially retired but remains a non-executive director.

“Physical Company has been part of my life as long as I can recall and I have thoroughly enjoyed my role in sales and marketing to help steer its course and support its growth,” said John.

“My role now is to continue my drive to improve product quality and ensure our customer service levels remain high as our business grows. This is definitely an exciting time to be leading Physical Company and I am actively seeking further expansion and growth as our reputation as a total solutions provider builds.”
