Matt founded Sano Physiotherapy Ltd in October 2010, setting up the companies first clinic (in a room in a gym) in his hometown of Pudsey. Having worked clinically at Sano until 2018, Matt relinquished his clinical duties following Private Equity investment in the business and, as Group Managing Director, works closely with the Senior Management Team to ensure Sano achieves its goals and objectives and delivers exceptional outcomes for all customers and stakeholders. He leads on new business development and mergers and acquisitions within the Sano group and is passionate about staff development and progression throughout the organisation.

Outside of work I am a family man and enjoy nothing more than spending time with my 2 sporty young children and my (very understanding) wife. I enjoy keeping fit, am a passionate Aston Villa fan and a coach for several junior sports teams. On a weekend, you will more than likely find me standing on a pitch side somewhere!

Marcus Rogers

Marcus joined Sano as employee #2 in 2012, progressing from ‘Finance and Clerical Administrator’ to Operations Manager and then Head of Operations. Marcus leads our operations department which includes Client Care, Marketing, Back in Action Operations and Back in Action Customer Service as well as external contractors and services. Marcus’ focus is always on identifying and delivering excellence, continually improving quality and leading a positive culture throughout the entire company.
Outside of work I am a father of 2 wonderful young girls and husband to a long-suffering wife who, as my better half, keeps me on the level while I balance work and more hobbies than is healthy. I am a passionate artist, golfer, gamer, musician, technophile, museum goer and much, much more.

He’s currently undertaking further managerial and leadership CPD University of Leeds aiming to complete a masters in the near future, whilst also continuing to help out covering clinics when needed.
Away from Sano, I spend much of my time with my family and a new Golden Retriever, Biffy. I enjoy travelling, socialising, cooking, exercising and particularly running, having recently completed a number of half marathons including the Great North Run last year. Away from this, you’ll find me watching and supporting Wakefield Trinity (Rugby League), Yorkshire C.C.C. (Cricket) or Chesterfield FC (Football).

On a more personal note, I am married and the father of 2 young twin boys. At weekends I enjoy just about any outdoor activity (following too much screen time during the week). My hobbies include walking, photography, rowing, camping and of course (typical South African) nothing is better than a Braai (BBQ) with family and friends.
