Who we are

Combining more than 60 years of experience in the fitness industry, ServiceSport UK is led by a board of directors that are passionate and committed to delivering an exceptional level of service.

    Colin Marriott

    Founder/Owner

    Colin’s career first began as a sales manager operating in the packaging industry. He worked for a fitness equipment manufacturer and it was from there that he spotted a gap in the market for a nationwide independent service provider in the commercial fitness equipment sector. Founding ServiceSport in 2003, Colin has grown the business into one with a nationwide reputation of providing a high quality of service.

    A keen follower of football at all levels, Colin is a lifelong Manchester City fan and supporter of local teams in the North West Counties league. Outside of his busy schedule, Colin enjoys spending valuable time with his grandkids and playing the occasional round of golf at the weekend.
