TIM Megginson was praised by the judges for helping his clients achieve their health and weight loss goals.

Having been made redundant in 2008, the former apprentice electrician began his own personal training business which now attracts more than 200 clients across two locations.

The judges said: “Tim is very focused on his objectives and has identified an interesting market and business opportunity.

“Tim has taken on board the need to expand his education in order to educate his clients, hence setting himself apart from his competitors.

“Tim hosts seminars for potential clients and has written a number of instruction manuals to accompany his boot camp sessions which assist his clients to make the mindset changes required to achieve their health and weight loss goals - in some cases the results have been life changing.”
