Woohooo, Anand! A terrific appointment from the sector …. someone with grounded skills and experience from such diverse areas within our expansive sector. Looking forward to seeing early ‘runs on the board’ and to reading positive social media posts and announcements about our wonderful leisure sector.
Let’s hope he brings justice and real leadership and values the work people do, not destroy efficient teams and do 3 people of of their livelihoods
