Irish round-up

Gladstone Health & Leisure has been supplying membership management solutions to customers in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for 27 years and is part of the Gladstone plc group which has a total of 120 employees worldwide.

Over those years Gladstone Health and Leisure has established itself as the market leader in membership management solutions to both the public and private sectors. This wealth of experience comes in part from a dedicated 25 strong Research and Development team who are committed to offering continuous innovative technology advances.

Gladstone provides our Irish-based clients with a blend of local experience and expertise from our Dublin-based team, backed-up by functional departments such as R&D and Customer Support that are unrivalled in terms of size and strength within our industry. This friendly local experience combined with the strength of an international business has made Gladstone the supplier of choice in Ireland. There are thousands of people using Gladstone products every day, and this client base is continually growing, especially over the last year as we have taken the time to more fully understand what the growing needs of our clients really are.

Part of this process has involved the successful launch of a number of User Groups throughout Ireland. These regular events offer a great opportunity for our clients to network with other Gladstone clients, discuss and share best business practice and they also provide valuable feedback to us as part of our product development roadmap.

We have welcomed a number of new clients to the market in the past year including Clonakilty GAA Sports Complex, Claremorris Leisure Centre, Belcross Enterprises Ltd, Kildare Leisure Services Ltd (K Leisure Athy & K Leisure Naas). We have also seen some of our existing clients substantially grow in size and add new sites to their business selecting Plus2 as the operating system. We congratulate Dublin City Council, Ballymoney Borough Council, Coral Leisure Group and Queens University Belfast on their successful growth.

Never satisfied with standing still, Gladstone has an exciting year ahead with the release of our latest version of Plus2 v9.6 which includes a number of key enhancements particularly for our web bookings module, Connect2, and also our self service Kiosk2. Clients on the most recent version of Plus2 will also have the opportunity to add our latest Plus2 Visual Analytics to their system, the most user friendly reporting tool ever developed for the health and leisure market.

We have also just released Orbit Professional, our intuitive membership management solution specifically designed for the independent single site market, which we believe will revolutionise the market. And don't just take our word for it, we have recently been nominated as finalists in two UK innovation awards!

We have worked hard at improving client relations over the past year, and will continue to do so. We look forward to continued successful partnerships with all of our existing and future clients in the Irish market.
