Sandwell Leisure Trust has successfully achieved Quest accreditation for four of its sports centres.

The four centres which are now quality-assured are Tipton Swimming Centre, Tipton Sports Academy, Langley Swimming Centre and Hadley Stadium.

Mark Wildman, marketing manager for the trust, said: "All our teams have worked extremely hard to gain QUEST accreditation. Providing and maintaining quality facilities is part of all our mission in Creating an Active Sandwell."

The trust worked with PMP consultants to achieve Quest accreditation and put all its facilities through dummy assessments before the formal process.

Sandwell Leisure Trust manages nine sports and leisure centres and a golf course on behalf of Sandwell Council.
