Fit future for North East business

A FITNESS business has its finger on the pulse, after investing in new technology to take it to the next level. Fitstream, which was set up by fitness entrepreneurs Kris Kennedy and Paul Cranston, is set for growth after launching a new app and next generation website – www.fitstream.com - that will help it to appeal to more customers.

Pros aplenty for lettings agency

A NORTH East lettings agency is reaping the rewards of an innovative property scheme that it launched last year with the help of a regional support fund. Heaton Property, based in Newcastle, has been named Property Management Lettings Agency of the Year 2014 at a prestigious national awards ceremony held last week, and has seen turnover increase by some £50,000, after launching ProShare, a service that aims to find professionals their perfect rented home and housemates.
