Myzone creator recognised among ‘Most Ambitious Business Leaders’

Myzone creator recognised among ‘Most Ambitious Business Leaders’
October 2, 2018

Dave Wright, creator and Chief Executive of Myzone has been recognised as one of the United Kingdom’s Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders.

The list, compiled by LDC, the private equity arm of the UK's Lloyds Banking Group, and London newspaper The Telegraph, recognised Wright for his entrepreneurship, success and commitment in creating and developing Myzone, running his own chain of health clubs, owning Creative Fitness Marketing, being Chair of the Suppliers Council for UkActive as well as being a father and family man.

Welcoming the recognition, Wright commented “any personal kudos regarding the success of a company is always flattering, but it is categorically impossible without a phenomenal team to realize that growth. I'm fortunate that I have an unbelievable global team that has stood by the Myzone cause of genuinely making a difference to someone's health.

“This, against all the adversity of a self-funded startup, is far more inspiring to me than any one individual accolade".

Advising why Wright (pictured) had been identified, David Bains, Investment Director from LDC added “to build a global wearable company in under seven years is an incredible achievement. The fact that Dave has done it with no external funding, while consistently making a profit, is a testament to his entrepreneurial prowess. He has some ambitious goals for the business, and has the strategies and passion to make it happen.

“We have the feeling that Myzone is just getting started and we can’t wait to see where the business goes from here”.

As part of its ongoing expansion and development, Myzone has also launched a new look website with a clear doorway option for user and operators to ensure messaging, content and language is relevant to the reader.

Gemma Bonnett-Kolakowska, Myzone’s Global Marketing Director advised “Myzone continues to evolve with its new features, MZ-TV, video content and clear added value for a variety of markets both B2B and B2C, it was important that the website helped distinguish this.”
