New growth opportunities

Friday 04 May 2007

Aura Sport and Leisure Management is driving forward its ambitious expansion plans in Ireland with the announcement of two further new leisure centre contracts in 2007.

Dublin-based Aura, part of the Holohan Group, which was established to operate sports and leisure centres under licence from local authorities and private operators, has secured new contracts in Killarney and Tullamore.

Supporting the new site rollout, is Aura’s industry partner and specialist IT solutions provider, Xn Leisure. The two companies have worked closely for more than five years, with Xn Leisure, providing its innovative and highly successful Leisure Management System, which offers a fully integrated computerised booking, membership and management reporting system. In addition to installing both the hardware systems and software applications on-site, Xn Leisure provides Aura with continuous optimisation and staff training support.

Xn Leisure’s Managing Director, Darrell Boxall, commented: “Ireland offers exciting growth prospects for Xn Leisure. This latest phase of expansion not only underlines Aura’s position as the fastest growing leisure solutions provider in Ireland, but also Xn Leisure’s commitment to increase market presence in Ireland.”

Xn Leisure’s TLMS Management System is already successfully installed in Aura managed leisure centres located in Navan, Dundalk, Drogheda, Carrick-on-Shannon, Tuam, Cobh and Youghal. Aura’s focus on quality service across its operations have recently been recognised with all sites having won the prestigious 02 Ability Awards, Hygiene Awards and White Flag Awards.
