Edinburgh Leisure stalwart June Peebles has been announced as the new chief executive of the not-for-profit operator with immediate effect.

The appointment follows a competitive recruitment process led by Edinburgh Leisure Chair David Milne, with support from representatives of The City of Edinburgh Council.

"Throughout the process June has demonstrated that she has the skills and experience that we want for this post," said Milne.

"We are excited about the next phase for Edinburgh Leisure.”

Peebles played a key role in the establishment of Edinburgh Leisure in 1998 and has since held several senior roles. She has served in the role of interim chief executive since the departure of John Comiskey at the end of 2014.

“I am passionate about physical activity and the positive difference it makes to people’s lives." said Peebles.

"I am proud of Edinburgh Leisure and all that we have achieved to date and I am excited about the future; the challenges and the opportunities to work with my colleagues, the City of Edinburgh Council, partner organisations and customers to inspire even more people in Edinburgh to be active”.
