Businessman Ben Dunne has permanently shut down half the number of gyms in his gym group due to the business impact of Covid-19.

In an interview, Mr Dunne has described the Covid-19 business impact on his gym business as ‘horrendous’.

He said: “I’ll give you an insight into what Covid has cost us. We had 12 clubs - we now have six clubs. Our revenues are less than 50% of what they were pre-Covid.”
