Blog - Thank you to Jo in East Lancs

Jo Gribben - franchisee for East Lancs

Are you a customer of Jo in East Lancs? We thoroughly enjoyed visiting Jo a couple of weeks ago. Jo brings so much enthusiasm and energy to her business and clearly loves it.

I love hearing the different stories from our franchisees. How they all come from such different backgrounds and have their own stories to tell about why they joined us. Jo worked for BT for years and years - how brave was she to suddenly leave and set up on her own?

We're glad she did though. Jo is passionate, organised, creative and thorough. She has spent hours with established teachers making sure her lessons will be as good as theirs, right from the outset.

Thank you Jo for an enjoyable visit and thank you to your customers for letting me watch your lessons.

Do you know Jo? Do you come to her classes? Are you thinking about joining? Do tell us!

My son Oliver is now 7.5 months old. We have been going to Jo's classes at Holiday Inn, Bolton, for about 4 months and we LOVE it!!!
I have always been afraid of water and don't want Oliver to be the same. The thought of submerging Oliver did scare me, but thanks to Jo's teaching, I now have a baby who loves being in the water and through learning signals, songs and having lots of fun in the pool we are both growing in confidence each week and what Oliver does amazes me and makes me so proud!
Jo is a fab teacher and makes our classes so enjoyable. I would recommend Jo's classes to everyone.

My daugher Emily has been in Jo's class since she was 14 weeks old & is now 7 & half months. We both love & look forward to our splashers class each Tuesday afternoon at the Holiday Inn. Emily's confidence, progression and sheer enjoyment increases each week & makes me a very proud mummy! This is all achieved by Jo's interactive, fun & enjoyable sessions. Puddle Ducks is amazing
& I recommend Jo's classes to all my family & friends! We just love it! Thanks Jo! x

Jo is a fabulous teacher, and we love our Splashers class at Foxfields (Langho). Sophie is always really relaxed in the pool, and loves all the songs.
