One of the founding fathers of the health club industry, Allan has established over 100 health clubs since opening the 1st Holmes Place in 1980. Allan is passionate about the potential of business to influence positively on society and as such he continues to be a dynamic entrepreneur in his 70’s. His enthusiasm for creating aspirational brands and company cultures is as contagious as his appreciation of excellent wine.

For our DACH CEO Xavier, the math of a balanced life is fairly simple and it's easily found at Holmes Place. "At Holmes Place I found something I never found before. Most companies see training as something that should be done on your personal time, but Holmes Place showed me that training should be part of our life and helped to make it happen. This inspired me to take a hard look and realize that life is not only about working but also living well."
