Biography: Richard Branson - IT Director

Richard Branson graduated in Sports Science in 2002. Previously working as a Personal Trainer, Richard has over ten years experience working in the health and leisure industry. His training principles combine the knowledge gained from his degree and his National Academy of Sports Medicine Qualification and a lifetime competing in a variety of sports from TaeKwonDo to Snowboarding to Triathlons.

He also worked as a Medical Sales Representative being trained to a high standard with the largest Pharma company in the world but became frustrated with the level of results that this industry actually achieves through drug administration.

Richard developed his knowledge of websites and has spent the last 4 years developing the Wellbeing portfolio of website for their franchisees as well as working in Event Management and logistics for some larger brands such as Cadbury, Canon, Muller, Pepsico, Sky Arts, Vodafone to name but a few bringing a wealth of knowledge on event organising to the Wellbeing Team.

Richard’s passion is for helping to inform his community on how to look after their health, fitness and wellbeing through knowledge, education and prevention instead of cure.
