“Working with Max Associates was an absolute pleasure. Their comprehensive review of our future leisure centre management model was exceptional. They demonstrated deep understanding of the sector, meticulously analysing operations, customer experience and financial performance. The final report was thorough, insightful, and presented clarity, offering practical recommendations that aligned perfectly with our councils’ objectives. Thanks to their high-quality work, we now have a clear roadmap to improve efficiency and enhance the services we provide the community. I wholeheartedly recommend Max Associates to any organisation seeking expert consultancy in the leisure sector.”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Max Associates to other areas who are on a similar journey. The team have significant experience of supporting Councils and Leisure Trusts through the SOPM process, and their input and support has strengthened our ability to develop a strong and viable Leisure Transformation vision which will benefit our community for many years to come.”

“Kirsty and Lisa, directors of Max Associates, were a pleasure to work with. Their support on this project has been invaluable and their expertise guided us to the right outcomes for the Council and the wider local community. Their planned approach and foresight of potential issues during the process ensured we delivered a thorough process within the required timescales.”
Rachel Biles
Cotswold District Council
“We couldn’t be happier with the support and commitment from the Max team, all technically and professionally excellent, this was crucial in our long-term project with difficult challenges. Just so nice and such a good and enjoyable team to work with. They really do capture and embrace the client’s key issues and concerns and are exceptional, in the quality of support, their knowledge and expertise and the respect and high regard they are held in across the wider leisure industry.”
Sue Drummond
Buckinghamshire Council
“Max Associates was appointed to deliver a Leisure and Wellbeing Strategy for the District, throughout the project they offered extensive experience and insight to the process of developing this strategy resulting in a clear and effective path forward for the Council to improve its services and deliver upon wider outcomes. Their flexible approach allowed for the development of a strategy which was in line with the Council’s ethos and aspirations. The management options appraisal provided an evidenced analysis from which the Council can now make informed decisions about the future delivery of the services. I would have no hesitation in recommending Max Associates to carry out similar projects”
Angela Gillingham
Stroud District Council
“The level of detail in the financial analysis was impressive. The report has been taken forward to decision-makers and is regarded as a solid piece of work upon which implementation of leisure developments may be based. I would recommend Max’s services to any other council looking for delivery of similar projects.”
Michael Walker
Trafford Council
“I have found their support to be absolutely first class and without their assistance this project would have been considerably more challenging. Without Max Associates involvement I am convinced the project would not have run to the timetable and the council’s position would not have been as strong as it is.”
