Business in Sport and Leisure (BISL) has partnered with Oliver Wyman, the international consulting firm, to produce its first report mapping the size of the UK's leisure industry.

The inaugural BISL Oliver Wyman Leisure Industry Report is designed to outline the role that sport and leisure can play in supporting the UK economy's "rehabilitation".

Due to be published on 12 June, the research will also support BISL's political and media campaign to secure a "fairer deal" for commercial operators within the sector.

BISL CEO Simon Johnson said: "Top of BISL's agenda is the need to create a much more positive narrative for the broadly based sport and leisure industry."
