Kirklees Active Leisure (KAL) has appointed two new regional managers as part of the trust's strategy to improve customer service.

Leah Cooper will oversee operations of the five KAL sites in Dewsbury, Batley and Cleckheaton, while Jenny Frear will oversee the operations of the six KAL sites in Huddersfield, Scissett, Holmfirth and the Colne Valley.

Both will be based at the leisure trust's headquarters at the Stadium in Huddersfield.

Frear has more than ten years of experience working for KAL and for local government. For the last 18 months, she has been general manager of Huddersfield Sports Centre and is currently studying towards a diploma in management studies.

Frear said: "We are focussing on improving standards both for the customer and internally. We are looking at every area including standards of the facilities and services we offer, health and safety, service delivery, key performance indicators and financial performance."
