Parkwood Leisure to Manage Kettering Borough Council Leisure Facilities
Press Release - 19th January 2007
The Executive has chosen to select Parkwood Leisure to manage its leisure services. The facilities included in the contract which will run for 10 years are the Kettering Swimming Pool, The Desborough Leisure Centre, the Cornmarket Hall and the Pitch and Track. Parkwood Leisure was formed in 1995 and is now one of the largest companies providing leisure management services in the country.

The Council went through a robust and open procurement process before coming to this decision and received specialist advice from Strategic Leisure during the process.

Councillor Alison Wiley (Portfolio holder for Leisure and Community) says:

"A good service has been provided by Kettering Community Leisure over the last ten years but the tender from Parkwood was more innovative and beneficial to the Council. Current staff will transfer over to the new contractor and these are discussions that KCCL will need to have with Parkwood Leisure. We now look forward to working with our new contractor."

Parkwood Leisure's Business Development Manager, Kirsty Rose has stated:

"Parkwood Leisure is delighted to have been selected for the management of Kettering's Leisure facilities. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with Kettering Borough Council, over the next ten years, to deliver quality leisure services for the benefit of the whole community."

The new arrangements should be in place for 1st April 2007 and the decision will be confirmed at the end of next week so that work can start to make sure there is a smooth handover for the benefit of staff and customers.

Yep confirmed into next leg 125p-150p.Next target becomes 150p and have this as a doubler from 100p.imho.

[mykai] 23/1/2007 08:45

Looks like we are breaking out again

[lex1000] 14/1/2007 20:03

Profiting, enjoy highlighting shares with potential to make peeps money even if i'm not the original brains behind it!

[lex1000] 14/1/2007 20:02

Tuftymatt,find do best in company and shares I know.Combined with share analysis highlighted by Fingersxxd so much the better.He has done so with MER & PKW.Do not hold MER but believe both good medium-long term investments.I don't have past or as in depth knowledge of ARG & WGB but put a few pennies in ARG,not that i'm recommending either.CCT & PKW no brainers from 100p.Luck of the draw as to exactly when share price goes ballistic,however,expected strong trading statement by PKW.Think they should sell of healthcare and concentrate on other divisions.

Do not think that you can go too far wrong investing in growth & divi paying companies and companies shares you "know".Therefore not a secret formula or mrmidas more common sense.Fingersxxd posts on his "£1" thread and "FAR6".

kind regards

Lex thanks for highlighting these.Bought on directors buying and now showing fine profit.Really appreciated and still more to go.Initial target was max £2 but given update the upside could be substantially more.

I think these will continue to increase ahead of results and as seems the norm these days will fall back after publication.

[dpmcq] 12/1/2007 21:13

Watched this from the late 80's when directors bought, wish I had followed them but got in today after a great update.

[tuftymatt] 12/1/2007 17:53

Lex I see you have yourself another winner here.

Keep me posted on any others you like the look of Mr Midas.

[lex1000] 12/1/2007 16:29

WOW 130p-132p & lol.

[daza70] 12/1/2007 16:13

great volume on the back of the update! Expecting another rise tomorrow!

[lex1000] 12/1/2007 15:42

Total trades on PLUS.Maybe some delayed unreported.Truly,truly brilliant day.Never seen PKW trade so strong higher higher days highs, not that i'm complaining.lol.

[lex1000] 12/1/2007 15:30

[its the oxman] 12/1/2007 15:28

strong finish would bode well for further rise

[lex1000] 12/1/2007 15:26

Yeah,very pleasantly surprised with higher day highs.Someone must have vlaued these @ 150p.Keep holding trend is up.Target 150p.lol.

[daza70] 12/1/2007 15:23

touching day high - looking really good!

[nickjoseph] 12/1/2007 10:03

Thanks Smiler1. I knew something was on the cards. thanks for your response.
Cheers and happy days

[lex1000] 12/1/2007 09:08

sp raced ahead following usual trend of dropping back.Weakened from 127p-130p to 123p-128p.May fallback to 120p-125p? Well & truly broken free above psychological 100p.Keep holding.More to come here + divi.

[poyntona] 12/1/2007 09:04

Did i reas somewhere that they would sell the Healthcare division if they cannot turn it around in a year.

If they did then it would add about £200,000 to profits and help the eps.

[keane16] 12/1/2007 08:51

not a wise decision on my behalf to drop out at the £1.00 level

Good luck to all holders

[robbi123] 12/1/2007 08:50

daza - well done mate, breaking out on excellent update!

[daza70] 12/1/2007 08:41

Great update - looking forward to reading the full results!
