Diane Warren has been busy recruiting staff for the new Bannatyne’s Health Club in Folkestone since her appointment as general manager.

Due to open later this month, Warren has been recruiting for 30 positions within the new club and has already appointed fitness manager Lizzie Tuff, a well respected fitness instructor and trainer in the Kent region.

“This is an exciting development for Folkestone,” said Warren. “I have been impressed with the people who want to come and work at the 3,000-member club, particularly Lizzie who is extremely experienced and well known in the area.”

Warren initially trained as a beauty therapist before becoming interested in the fitness industry. She started her fitness career as duty manager in a Rochester-based health club before joining Cannons in Gillingham as assistant general manager.

Her most recent role was operations manager at Holmes Place in Covent Garden, London which welcomes over 1,500 visitors a day.
