A facility fit for the future.

We're proud to have been featured in the latest issue of Health Club Management, showcasing our work delivering Clay Cross Active, a £26.3m health and wellness facility developed to inspire and support the local community in North East Derbyshire.

From increased participation to improved financial performance, this project demonstrates how well-planned leisure developments can drive meaningful results for both operators and local communities.

What do we mean when we talk about 'co-location' and how do we successfully design and build an integrated space?

The topic has never been more relevant than it is today within leisure development, but co-location isn’t simply about sharing a building. True co-location happens when design, delivery and programming work together to make every visit a chance to improve wellbeing.

Our Assistant Regional Director, Will Gardner, explores the case for integration in our latest insight piece.

Enjoying my day at the Sustainability Learning Conference at @brfcTrust at Ewood Park 🍃

Positive head on today. Come on @F1 and give us a #Vegas show to remember (for the right reasons)! 🏎️💨💨 Looking forward to FP3 and Quali tonight
#LasVegasGP #F1

[John Leaver @JohnLeaver]

Empty stands. #joke F1 screwed up by letting fans down. All about the TV audience @SkySportsF1 @MBrundleF1 we're having to watch it 500 yards away on a tv

[Formula 1 @F1]

Halfway through this extended second practice session (45/90 mins)

Leclerc is setting the pace, with Hamilton and Albon fractions behind

#F1 #LasVegasGP

[John Leaver @JohnLeaver]

@SkySportsF1 #LibertyMedia #LasVegasGP Complete joke. 9 minutes of 'racing' and then we get kicked out before P2. #NotForTheFans #f1lasvegas @F1 @lasvegasweekly

[John Leaver @JohnLeaver]

@MBrundleF1 @SkySportsF1 So we travel 5000miles & get 9minutes of practice before getting kicked out 45mins before P2 (and after waiting nearly 5hours after P1!) Maybe a sly nod to this in your broadcast would remind Liberty Media that fans at the track are important too. #joke

@jet2tweets #jet2 #leedsairport Do you mean THIS morning 20th Oct, or TOMORROW morning 21st Oct?? We're flying tomorrow 7am to Alicante
