Andy Robinson

Head of Leisure

Andy joined TLT in early 2022 to continue his career development and gain experience in a more strategic role.

Andy's current role is Head of Leisure.

After starting his first role in leisure as a Gym Assistant he moved on to become a Gym Manager at his local Leisure Centre where he was promoted to Assistant Manager, Centre Manager and then to overseeing two Centres.

He has been fortunate enough to work with some very talented people. You never know when the next opportunity will present itself to you and equally, you never know who may be watching you and be impressed with how you work.

Andy's passions include his family and a number of sports, especially Newcastle United. 

He has always enjoyed sport and physical activity and these interests led towards a degree in Sports Science from the University of Portsmouth.

Andy looks forward to continuing to learn more about TLT and how he can impact the development and growth of the organisation in the future.
