What our People Say…


“Working for us means being the best you can be for colleagues and customers; supporting your team, enjoying your work and making a difference every day. Hopefully, you’ll have fun too!” 
Mark Crutchley – CEO 

“Thirty-five years ago I started my career by going to Yate Leisure Centre on 6 weeks work experience. When my College Course finished there was a vacancy at Yate for a Leisure Assistant for which I was successfully recruited. I then started to climb the ladder with various promotions across the South Gloucestershire Leisure Centres: Duty Manager at Yate, followed by Assistant Manager at Kingswood, followed by Centre Manager at Bradley Stoke, culminating with my current role of Operations Director managing 7 sites. Obviously, I have enjoyed working for Circadian Trust over the years. I have had plenty of development opportunities and Circadian are a very forward thinking company which is why I have stayed with them for over 30 years.” 
Craig Smart – Operations Director 

“I joined Circadian Trust as a Business Support Apprentice in December 2013 where I worked in a variety of departments gaining different skills and knowledge. I then progressed into the role of HR Assistant in July 2014 and worked my way up to the position of HR Officer in September 2015; having completed my CIPD Level 3. After a year and a half of attending evening college classes, I then completed my CIPD Level 5 in June 2017 and I am now continuing to further my own personal development and work experiences with Circadian Trust who have supported me with my career development.” 
Hannah Lopeman – HR Officer

“Circadian trust has a proven track record of developing their staff members, I have regularly been on courses and training days which are fun and informative but are ultimately geared towards career progression. We very much have a ‘one Team‘ ethos throughout the company which makes it a very professional and rewarding environment to work in.” 
Ben Neary – Assistant Manager

“As Centre Manager I thrive on leading my team to inspire healthy lifestyles within the community and to make a difference.” 
Fran Snell – Leisure Centre Manager
