"I am delighted to have been appointed as the Chair of Life Leisure. The work they do as an innovative social enterprise to bring physical activity and well-being programmes to all members of the community in the North West is fantastic, and is exactly the type of opportunity I was seeking. The process of applying for the role through Nurole was simple and fuss free and I’m impressed with their whole approach to matching suitable people with interesting Board opportunities."
