Life Leisure, a social enterprise and registered charity that provides high quality, excellent value, accessible fitness clubs and sports centres, sought to appoint a Chair. They were looking for someone who could work with the Trustee and Executive Team to help steer Life Leisure through the next exciting stage of its journey. The successful candidate needed to have experience of operating successfully at Board level and have a passion for Life Leisure's purpose, ambition and culture.

In one month, Nurole identified Gaurav Batra, former Chairman of Bibby Line Group, Virgin Group and current adviser to Hometouch, a health based tech start-up. Batra was the right fit for the role due to his extensive experience and long standing interest in public health and wellness.

We have a strong corporate philosophy that underpins everything we do and we want people that perfectly match our ethos. This often can prove difficult to achieve, yet Nurole gave us access to high quality people, that would otherwise have been unaware of the opportunity, and as a result we found the right candidate.
