Supporting Partners: 1 H&F Ad A4.indd 1


Fit for Sport joins hundreds of experts to discuss best practice methods for engaging with the youth market. Operations director, Craig Jones believes simplicity can be the key to getting children active. T e organ- isation’s recent study revealed that two of the most popular activities children under- take with their families, are swimming and Nintendo Wii. Craig comments: “As an industry we must embrace ‘pester power’ and reach out to our youth audience to understand what excites them. T is will be a key aim at this year’s LIW.”


Total approach to toilets helps increase visitors


T e BS8300:2009 code of practice for acces- sible building design advises that public buildings include specialised accessible toilet facilities. To enable the leisure industry to effi -


ciently capitalise on this market sector, and ensure eff ective compliance with the Standard, Total Hygiene – the UK’s leader in disabled toilet, washroom and bathroom provision – has developed a unique package using expertise gained through 50 years in disabled toileting. T e company can advise on regulatory


requirements, plus design, install and service all elements needed to create an accessible bedroom suite, washroom or Changing Places facility.

drink, utilities and equipment for all its clients in the leisure industry. T e purchasing group has achieved, on aver-


age, savings of up to 17 per cent on food, drink and utilities for all the new clients they signed up at LIW last year.
