Avalon Leisure to consult on pools
Independent management contractor, Avalon Leisure, is to diversify into consultancy this year.
The company, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in March, currently operates five leisure facilities.
Managing director Peter Gilpin – who helped write the British Standards Institute’s recent document on the operation and management of swimming schools – said: “It opened my eyes to just how many people don’t know about the complexities of opening a swimming facility up to the public.”
Gilpin therefore plans to make the most of Avalon’s good track record in this area by consulting to schools, hotels and other organisations.
“We get high scores in Quest and we’ve won awards, including a FLAME award for our expertise. We can use our experience to help other pool and leisure centre operators.”
