A BOLTON business has backed Happy Mondays legend Bez in his new fitness drive, sponsoring the dancer for his new Youtube series.

Love Energy Savings (LES) is proving they’re true '24 Hour Power People' after becoming launch sponsor for Bolton-born Bez’s new fitness show.

Get Buzzin’ With Bez has debuted on Youtube and is following the iconic Madchester star’s journey as he attempts to get in shape.

The 56-year-old, real name Mark Berry, is famed for his onstage antics and hopes to lose his lockdown weight and help motivate others.

LES has the same hometown as Bez - and shares his belief in the importance of exercise.

Chief marketing officer Phil Windas said: “We’re really buzzing to have linked up with Bez as he takes his first steps on his fitness journey. We take our employee wellbeing very seriously. That’s why since the first lockdown we have been holding daily fitness classes for the entire workforce.

“Backing Bez as he attempts to get in shape mirrors our commitment to helping Britain’s small businesses. As the nation’s 24 Hour Power People we never rest in our mission to drive down energy bills.”

Bez said: “It’s about time I got in shape. I’ve been overdoing the sweets and sugary drinks in lockdown and I know I need to knock all of that on the head.

“It’s going to be tough - but if I can get fit, then anyone can. I’m really excited to see where this new project takes me and want to thank Love Energy Savings for their support.”
