Premier Training International has described its 2012 financial results as "recession-busting" with a 14 per cent increase in turnover on the previous year.

For the year ending September the company had a turnover of £10m and revenues up 10 per cent, consolidating its upward growth in 2011.

Chief executive Debra Stuart said: "We knew that we had had a great year in terms of expanding the size and scope of the Group's business, but it's fantastic to see the figures reflect that success so unequivocally."

The strategy of parent organisation Premier Global Group has been aggressive expansion in the UK market.

Premier Training International has been providing health and fitness vocational education since 1992 with qualifications recognised by the Register of Exercise Professionals.
