He has proved himself invaluable in our thorough review of our operations to ensure we are maximising efficiencies, and has identified and is implementing a number of cost saving initiatives. He has also worked closely with and been well received by many of our key customers and strategic partners, shareholders and potential investors.

 

I would also like to thank both David and Allan for their many years of service to the Company and wish them both well in their future endeavours."

Notes

About Fitbug®

Fitbug is a leading provider of online health and well-being services which is pioneering an innovative 'Digital Wellness' model to help individuals to improve their lifestyles by making realistic changes to their daily routine. It combines activity tracking devices, which provide an understanding of each user's daily activity achievements, with mobile and web technology, which provides users with personalised weekly activity and nutrition targets, feedback, advice and encouragement to achieve "wellness". This is centred on four key areas: stress, sleep, nutrition and activity.

 

Its "Kiqplan"TM digital health coaching platform is designed to make wearable technology relevant to new audiences and take the "so what?" out of activity tracking by providing structured action plans to help people achieve their wellness goals.

 

The Company is primarily focussed on the B2B market, mainly mid-to-large cap corporations and insurance brokers / health insurers, where significant growth opportunities have been identified, particularly in the UK and US. An important part of the Company's focus is on building strategic relationships with organisations, which can integrate Fitbug or Kiqplan into their own service/product offerings or resell to their customer base.
