Angie Prentice
Careers Advisor

Before joining Premier, Angie worked as a Fitness/Aerobics Instructor and qualified to an advanced instructor level. She then progressed into a sales and marketing role and was involved in opening a number of new health and fitness clubs around the country for some of the industry's leading suppliers, such as Esporta and Next Generation. Her success in sales then enabled her to fast track into a management position, where she headed up and trained a sales team which went on to win 'Sales Team of the Year', with an annual turnover in sales membership exceeding £300,000. Her fitness background, marketing skills and industry contacts are all invaluable tools when it comes to advising students on their career options once they have graduated.
