Meet the Team

This month we introduce, Paul Simpson - The Assistant Leisure Manager for Lodge Park Sports Centre & Health and Fitness.

"My role involves supporting the day-to-day operations at Lodge Park Sports Centre while working closely with the Health and Fitness Officer to oversee and develop the Health, Fitness, and Wellbeing services of North Northants Leisure. From coordinating football pitch allocations for local teams in Corby to launching new initiatives like a Cancer Rehabilitation class, my role is varied, ensuring that no two days are the same.

I feel genuinely grateful to be part of a team that delivers such impactful services to the people of North Northamptonshire, making my role incredibly rewarding."
