Board Changes
Fitbug Holdings Plc, the AIM quoted provider of online personal health and wellbeing services, announces that Ann Jones, Group Sales Director, will be leaving by mutual consent to pursue new business opportunities. Additionally, the Company is bolstering its team in several areas and has recently appointed a new Digital Marketing Manager to support the roll out of Kiqplan version 2 ('Kiqplan V2'), the first digital fitness coaching App of its kind, which is on track to be launched by the end of November 2015.
The Company is focused on ensuring that it has the right resources to successfully penetrate the digital health market with this unique App, which includes a range of tailored 12-week coaching plans to guide and motivate users to achieve more on their fitness journey. Further appointments to the Board and team are advanced and updates will be made in due course.
Fitbug CEO Anna Gudmundson said, "Firstly, I would like to thank Ann for her valuable contribution to our business, and wish her well in the future. Following the launch of Kiqplan V2, our motivating fitness coaching programmes will be offered to our customers through an App, which increases our ability to scale the business quickly and effectively. To ensure that we penetrate the market successfully, the recruitment of experienced digital team and Board members is key and therefore we are actively progressing appointments ahead of the official launch of our new product."
