Al Corniche Club announces expansion

Meshal Al Saleh, Vice Chairman of Al Corniche Club Company, announced the establishment of the new division, Al Corniche Leisure Solutions, today, saying he was delighted that Al Corniche Club was recognising development opportunities in the region.

Al Saleh added, "In this region, it is common to find gyms and other leisure facilities provided to tenants of apartments and hotels. These operations are often hastily put together, especially where developers lack a deeper understanding of the leisure and fitness market, including identifying new technology, appropriate layout, operating procedures and suitable suppliers. This will ensure lower development and operational costs and will greatly enhance the end result for the user. We are confident we can fill a gap in the market where there is a clear need for expertise."

Al Corniche Leisure Solutions can provide services including facility design, pre-opening and full management, and will operate in Kuwait and across the Middle East.

Gerard Oliver, General Manager of Al Corniche Club Company, said, "Our team is ideally placed to offer a professional service. With diverse international experience across the leisure and hospitality industries, their knowledge will be invaluable to the success of Al Corniche Leisure Solutions. Our management capabilities are second to none as evidenced by our current operations at Al Corniche Club. We feel developers and owners who are less familiar with what it takes to put a leisure facility together will really benefit from our involvement, as will their own customers."
