Leaving: Mallinson

Fitness First marketing director Andy Mallinson has left the company after two years to take his family back to the UK. He has been replaced by David Langridge.

Mallinson, who has children aged six and eight, told Mumbrella: “It was time for the kids to connect with the family. It was a very difficult decision.”

Mallinson has been in Australia since being seconded by Virgin Mobile to head its Australian marketing team in 2003.
