The principles of BH Live are to generate:

More Participation – through the provision of leisure facilities to encourage active communities and enhance health & well-being
Higher Audiences – through the provision of a diverse range of cultural and artistic events
Great Economic Benefit – through hosting major conference, exhibitions & events for the benefit the local and regional economy

“BH Live is a new organisation, however, we are in the fortunate position to be managing and operating high quality leisure facilities and event venues with a strong record of success over many years. The Leisure Centres currently attract over 2.2 million visits every year and around 6,500 customers subscribe to one of our membership packages. The BIC is one of the UK’s leading purpose built conference venues, attracting over 60,000 delegates per annum and generating approximately £70m of economic benefit to the area. In addition, the BIC and Pavilion host over 400 cultural events each year with ticket sales of 600,000 plus.” Peter Gunn, Chief Executive
