Pulse plans move into local authority market

Pulse is seeking investment opportunities in the local authority market.

The company says it is the largest UK provider of revenue-based sharing schemes in the local authority fitness market with over 78 different authorities 'benefiting' from its Income Share scheme. Pulse wants to double this number over the next three years and is looking for local authorities that are interested in benefiting from a new or updated fitness facility.

'This is a major investment opportunity for cash-strapped local authorities,' said Chris Johnson, managing director at Pulse: 'We are looking at investment levels anywhere from £10,000 to £1m in each centre we get involved with. The longer the contract, the greater the level of investment from Pulse, so this is a win-win situation for all parties concerned.'

Once the contract is awarded, Pulse says it can handle 'every part of a development from the design of the leisure facility, training of staff, front of desk systems to supplying all the equipment, fixtures and fittings'. Details: www.pulsefitness.com
