Over the last five years of his tenure, Smith was responsible for creating and developing DLL’s strategic platform for health and fitness. He will continue to work at DLL until 20 May.

“It has been a privilege to be a part of David Lloyd over the years. I will remember my time with exceptional pride,” he said.

“I feel this is the right time for me to move forward in my career and onto a fresh and exciting new challenge.”
