Hyrox fitness classes are massive in the UK, and growing more popular by the day. So when Freddie Mason and Lewis Fensome came to Orca looking to expand their Highfield Hybrid Training Centre in Lea, Preston, we were right behind them.
The original deal brought together a commercial loan and an asset finance agreement to fund a barn conversion and brand new gym equipment, no small feat for a young, ambitious business. But Rob and the team got it done, and the results speak for themselves.
Fast forward to today, and the business is thriving. Memberships are flying, the facility is buzzing, and when Freddie and Lewis were ready to convert a second barn and kit it out with even more equipment, they came straight back to Orca.
We were delighted to answer the call again. A further £100,000 was arranged through our friends at Asset Advantage, supporting the next phase of growth for what is becoming one of the standout fitness venues in Lancashire.
A big thank you also to Anthony Ironfield at My Trusted Accountant, whose introduction started this relationship, a great example of the Orca Partner network doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
From one barn to two, and plenty more to come. Well done, Freddie and Lewis!
