Gladstone Health and Leisure has announced that it has promoted Tom Withers to the role of managing director.

Previously Gladstone sales and marketing director, Withers has worked for the software provider for 17 years.

“I look forward to working with all our customers as we continue to develop and deliver market leading software that will help support and grow our customers’ business,” said Withers.

“We have exciting plans to release a new product this year, which will be a game changer for the leisure industry and will be the dawn of a new era for Gladstone.”

The shift comes as Arthur Morris, Gladstone’s MD for the past four years, is also promoted. Morris moves up with the Jonas Group (the operating group in which Gladstone sits under ultimate parent company Constellation Software) to become a business unit manager, overseeing nine companies within the UK. Morris will work closely with all the brands and remain heavily involved with the Gladstone business.
