South Gloucestershire Leisure (SGL), a social enterprise that operates leisure venues in the West County, has announced that has rebranded as Circadian Trust.

The exercise forms part of the organisation's growth strategy over the coming years, with a briefing event on 8 July to mark the official launch of the new brand.

It comes five years after SGL was chosen by South Gloucestershire Council to run venues, with the Circadian Trust to continue the partnership with the local authority.

Facilities run by the organisation include including Kingswood Leisure Centre; Yate Leisure Centre; and Patchway Leisure Centre, as well as Yate Outdoor Sports Complex.

Other venues to remain under the operation of the newly-named enterprise are the Longwell Green, Thornbury and Bradley Stoke leisure centres; and Dowend Sports Centre.

SGL chief executive Mark Crutchley will lead the Circadian Trust going forward. He said: "We are now ready for a new direction to ensure our future growth and continued investment in our services and surroundings."
