The achievement recognised the hard work of Everyone Active colleagues across the country, as we picked up three Regional Public Centre of the Year Awards. 

Everyone Active Managing Director, David Bibby, said: “We are thrilled to have won three ukactive Awards. The achievement across three categories is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our fantastic colleagues. 

To win the awards for Regional Public Centre of the Year across East Anglia & Midlands, London and South of England reflects the brilliant services we deliver at our leisure facilities.” 

The centre, run by leading operator Everyone Active in partnership with Sunderland City Council, was named ‘National Club/Centre of the Year’ at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham, having earlier triumphed in the ‘Regional Club/Centre of the Year – North’ category.

Everyone Active also won ‘Outstanding Organisation of the Year’ award for its work across the country, including at the other sites within its Sunderland contract – Silksworth Sports Complex and Ski Slope, Sunderland Aquatic Centre, Raich Carter Sports Centre, Houghton Sports and Wellness Centre, Hetton Community Pool and Wellness Centre and Washington Leisure Centre.

Silksworth Community Pool, Tennis and Wellness Centre’s state-of-the-art facilities include a 120-station gym, a 25m swimming pool which hosts award-winning swim lessons, 18 tennis courts, group exercise studios, a health suite, soft play and café.

The ukactive Awards celebrate the best of the physical activity sector and are designed to recognise excellence and innovation across health, wellbeing and fitness. A not-for-profit body, ukactive comprises members and partners from across the active lifestyle sector.

“It’s a huge honour to win ‘National Club/Centre of the Year’ at the ukactive Awards and this reflects the hard work and dedication the site team has put in over the past year. Led by the general manager, Sara Blakey, they have done a fantastic job. We are so proud to help the local community get active and would like to thank all of our members and partners for their ongoing support.”

“It’s brilliant to see Silksworth winning this prestigious national award. The centre plays a key role in supporting both the physical and mental health of our residents and is a real asset to the community. Well done to everyone who has worked so hard to make the centre the success story that it is. They should be rightly proud.”

The Sunday Times BDO Profit Track 100 league table ranks Britain’s 100 private companies with the fastest-growing profits over their latest three years. It is compiled by Fast Track and published as a supplement in The Sunday Times each April, with a national awards event in June and alumni dinners throughout the year.

This year was the 18th annual awards dinner and was held on 14 June, 2017 at The Savoy, London. The 200+ guests included founders, chairmen, CEOs and FDs of the 100 featured companies which included Castle View. The guest speakers were Dame Mary Perkins, co-founder of Specsavers, and Richard Joseph, co-founder of Joseph Joseph.

The most coveted accolade of the night, Operator of the Year, was presented to the sports and leisure provider in recognition of its continuously high levels of performance across the organisation. It is the fourth time Everyone Active has achieved this title, having won the award on the three consecutive occasions in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Everyone Active’s Lincolnshire-based West Lindsey Leisure Centre also won the prestigious Leisure Centre of the Year (multi-use) award, before Epping Sports Centre in the south east was named as the winner of the Next Level accolade for the significant improvements it has made in the past year.

“We are absolutely delighted to have achieved the status of Operator of the Year for the fourth time,” said Managing Director of Sports and Leisure Management at Everyone Active, David Bibby. “All of our staff from across the company strive to give customers the best service and experience possible, and I’m very proud that their hard work and dedication has been recognised by others in the sector.

“Everyone Active has expanded rapidly in recent years, and now manages more than 140 leisure facilities and cultural services across the country. As we grow, we are determined to bringing first-class facilities to more communities across the country and ensure we help as many people as possible to get active.”
