Leisure Management Contractors Association (LMCA) 141C High Street, Street, Somerset, BA16 0EX Tel +44 (0)1458 446878 Email secretary@lmca.info Web www.lmca.info Key personnel Tim Hewett, chair; Peter Gilpin, hon secretary Description LMCA provides a forum for companies pursuing business opportunities primarily with local authorities in leisure management. It offers members the opportunity to meet and discuss industry issues and provides a focus for government, local authorities, industry bodies and the media to obtain the views of practitioners. Its members operate 350 facilities, employ more than 20,000 staff and have invested more than £100m into local authority facilities and equipment in recent years. In June 2006, the Audit Commission published a report – Public sports and recreation services: Making them fi t for the future – into the management of leisure services. It makes clear the contribution of private contractors in managing local authority facilities: high standards, signifi cant capital investment, lower subsidies from councils and less revenue needed from attendances to cover staff costs.
