June 2010 : Northern Trust - Wall Park
The growing importance of ‘green tourism’ is becoming more and more evident in the work we are undertaking with a recent study focusing on the potential market opportunity to develop a number of ‘eco lodges’ in the South West. In addition to confirming the market opportunities of such a development, the Pan-Leisure team then conducted a financial and economic appraisal of the implications and benefits of the eco-lodge development.
May 2010 : Brighton Dome and Festival
The Pan-Leisure team is delighted to announce that it has recently been appointed to prepare a Commercial Feasibility Study for Brighton Dome and Festival. The rationale for this important piece of work is underpinned by the need to optimise revenue generating opportunities to support its artistic product through maximising market opportunities. The Dome presently plays a key role in promoting Brighton as a visitor destination, most particularly in relation to its performing arts programme, its heritage, market position and role as a focal point for the Cultural Quarter in the city.
As part of the Study, we are reviewing all current commercial activity undertaken at the Dome and from this the team will identify a range of options for future revenue generation. This will allow the Dome to continue to thrive and contribute both regularly and nationally to the Performing Arts ‘scene’.
April 2010 : Holland Park School
A recent celebration of the commencement of re-building Holland Park School was attended by Pan-Leisure Director, Eileen Hinson together with the Mayor, elected members and officers from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, members of the school staff and consultants.
The practice prepared a report reviewing the existing sports facilities at the school and provided a comprehensive appraisal of the need for new sports facilities which would meet the future needs of the school and local community. Part funded by the sale of a parcel of land for housing, the school and its sports facilities will be completely re-built by 2013.

As a follow on to this work, Pan-Leisure is now preparing a detailed Business Plan for the re-location of Maryport Inshore Rescue Boat to a new site that will better enable it to develop training and education opportunities linked to its safety role. As part of this work, Pan-Leisure is also working with Maryport Maritime Museum to review the feasibility of re-locating the Maritime Museum collection to this new location, to provide a more comprehensive visitor experience.
March 2010 : Northern Trust
The strong relationship forged with Northern Trust continues with Pan-Leisure securing additional tourist related work in the Devon area. The combination of Pan-Leisure’s tourism/visitor destination work and successful track record in planning matters underpins this recent commission.

Pan-Leisure Consulting supported by the Matrix Partnership have been appointed by Stockton Borough Council to prepare a Stockton Town Centre Leisure/Evening Economy Feasibility study.

December 2009 : Nottingham City Council
The successful teaming up of Pan-Leisure and GVA Grimley Beverley has continued with a recent commission in Nottingham. GVA is presently preparing a Masterplan for Broxtowe Country Park on behalf of Nottingham City Council with Pan-Leisure focusing on the leisure and tourism aspects of the study. In particular, Pan-Leisure is reviewing potential development options which not only provide for the local community but also attract visitors from outside of the area, with the overall aspiration for the Park to become a destination.
November 2009 : Cumbria Wildlife Trust
Pan-Leisure has recently been appointed to carry out a feasibility study for a visitor centre on land gifted to Cumbria Wildlife Trust. The site, located just two miles from Carlisle, covers 36 acres of organic farmland and will allow the Trust to establish a base in the north of Cumbria. The role of the team is to review potential development options for the site, including the provision of visitor and education facilities, which would increase knowledge of the Trust’s work and expand awareness of organic farming and environmental conservation across the region.
