Gloucester Triathlete Targets New Business Challenge

GLOUCESTER triathlete Gary Holland hopes to capitalise on his competitive streak to take him to the top of the business league.

Gary, who has competed in some of the UK’s toughest endurance triathlons, admits he likes a challenge and is fiercely competitive.

He is confident that these qualities will reap dividends as he invests £40,000 in setting up his new business for Europe’s leading supplier of cleaning and hygiene products, Chemex International.

“Once you commit to a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a full marathon you need stamina and a competitive edge to get you over the finish line,” said Gary, who runs more than 140 miles a week.   

“When I first started out 16 years ago, I could barely swim but I like a challenge. Now I have set myself a target for the business, I have invested more than £40,000, and I will do everything I can to achieve success,” said Gary, who has 30 year’s sales experience, 13 with the John Lewis Partnership.

Gary’s franchise for Chemex International franchise will provide consultancy, training and hygiene solutions to businesses in Cheltenham and Gloucester preventing them from falling foul of the ever-tightening health, and safety and hygiene rules.

“I want to help local clubs, pubs, restaurants, hotels and care homes to negotiate the ever-changing requirements that are part of food hygiene.” said Gary whose business is based  at Barnwood Point, Gloucester.

“By giving my customers practical advice on problem areas in the kitchen and serving areas, I can help to give them peace of mind,” he said.

 “I can take the headache out of the compliance procedures so that they can concentrate on running their business and looking after their customers.

“It is that confidence within today’s maze of ever-tightening regulations for food production that is valued by customers whether they are a chef in a burger bar or a superchef in a Michelin-starred restaurant.”
