All Leisure to close Sussex headquarters
All Leisure Group confirmed this morning that it will close is Sussex office and relocate the business to Page & Moy’s base in Leicestershire in a move which will affect at least 60 employees.
Chairman Roger Allard said staff at the Burgess Hill office had been told of the decision today following several weeks of consultation.
As a result, Sussex-based fleet director Rob Bryant has resigned and chief operating officer Neil Morris will leave the company at the end of May.
Allard admitted the move would lead to further redundancies among the Sussex-based staff but he said he did not know how many would leave and how many would want to move, either temporarily or permanently, to Leicestershire.
He said the decision to consolidate the operation in Market Harborough was part of a reorganisation of the business following All Leisure’s acquisition of loss-making Page & Moy for £4.2 million in May last year.

The company already employs 260 people in Market Harborough. In Burgess Hill, where its Voyages of Discovery and Swan Hellenic businesses are based, it employs about 60 full-time and several part-time staff.
Allard indicated that Bryant, who was previously chief executive of All Leisure prior to the acquisition of Page & Moy, and Morris would not be directly replaced. "We have been reorganizing and changing a lot of things around," he added.
