New Trustees to run Hadleigh Pool

Funded by Babergh District Council, the South Suffolk Leisure Trust (SSLT) has taken over the running of both the Kingfisher Leisure Centre in Sudbury and the Hadleigh Swimming Pool.

The Interim Chairman is Ian Brown who has 30 years experience in senior management positions in the petroleum industry. According to Ian “the new board brings together a real breadth and depth of talent and experience and I am confident that we will work well together in delivering the quality and choice expected by all local leisure users”.

“We are fortunate in being able to draw on the combined skills of managers from BT, GEC/Marconi and Unilever, as well as those from a teaching, finance and political background. All the board members live in the Hadleigh and Sudbury areas.”

“One of the priorities of the SSLT, during the current handover period, is to better understand what customers want – and deliver them where possible. I’m delighted to say that receiving feedback from gym users at the Kingfisher, we have been able to order new equipment more in line with their requirements and these should soon be installed”.

“This shows that the SSLT is more than just a name change. With no shareholders to consider, we are able to plough back any surpluses into improving the services we provide and we intend to do that by being much more customer focussed” concluded Ian Brown.
