Dave shares pride in Shrewsbury Club’s growth after recent sale revealed

News just broke last month that the Shrewsbury Club in Sundorne Road, Shrewsbury, would become part of the David Lloyd Clubs franchise, with work expected to begin on the site next year.

Dave is the co-founder and managing director of Mosaic Spa and Health Clubs, which bought the club out of administration 13 years ago.

And ironically, it was the David Lloyd Clubs that, he says, first inspired him to get involved in the industry.

“I’ve known them for many years,” he recalls. “They opened a first club in 1982 in Heston, London, where I lived.

“I was 17 and at college and we were taken for a day out at this new David Lloyd Club.

“It was the first of its kind and I was impressed by it and what the company had created.

“I thought ‘this is the future’ and that’s what inspired me to get into the health club industry. Five years later, at the age of 22, I opened the Mosaic business and 37 years later, we are selling a club back to David Lloyd. I think it’s Serendipity or whatever you want to call it.

His positivity towards David Lloyd Clubs means that Dave feels extremely positive about the future of the club.

This is a situation where the Mosaic Group is leaving a business in a strong position for someone else to continue and allow it to grow through extra investment.
