Ricky Hatton, the former two time World Champion said:
“This project has my full support because not only is it providing the people of Oldham with state of the art fitness and learning facilities but it is also breathing new life into a building that has been empty for nearly 20 years.”
“As a gym owner I know what a boost schemes like this can give to an area as they provide opportunities for the whole community to take advantage of.”
“I would like to congratulate Eric and his team for the good work they are already doing in Oldham and would urge the local community, organisations and businesses to get behind their efforts so that they can get their plans for Victoria House up and running.”
