Why we exist.

Technology should help leisure operators spend less time managing systems and more time serving communities.

That's why we've built one connected platform that removes friction, supports better decisions and helps organisations deliver exceptional experiences for members, staff and stakeholders alike.

We're not simply developing software.

We're helping shape the future of leisure.

Real customer outcomes

“We are extremely happy with the simplicity to extract meaningful data to fulfil our reporting needs, we’re also aware that should something more specific crop up we also have access to complex data sets with the help of Gladstone Data Consulting Services .”

John Hancock

Business Manager, Rhondda Cyon Taf County Borough Council

“Gladstone’s products, for online and self-service have completely changed the way our customers book classes. With a much lower reliance on telephone or face-to-face bookings, a huge amount of staff time has been freed up especially at front of house.”

Michelle Schwick

Leisure Systems Co-ordinator, One Leisure, Huntingdon District Council

“What appealed to us most about obtaining data insights is our ability to create custom reports to fit the unique needs of our business, as well as the option to pull real-time information when required, thereby removing the delay in providing figures that could affect a business decision.”

Ashleigh Grailey

Business Improvement Officer, Kirklees Active Leisure

“We’ve seen both a dramatic boost in online transactions and a drastic drop-off in phone-call volume for bookings. Roughly 80% of class users now book online and through their mobile app. Given that we offer 50 classes a week, this has greatly reduced the workload of our customer service advisors, allowing them to concentrate on other more important tasks.”

Bryn Jones

Sports Duty Supervisor, Department of Sport & Recreation, University of Portsmouth

“The project implementation process ran so smoothly it has given us the confidence to that we chose the right partner in Gladstone"

Clerical Assistant, Shetland Recreational Trust
