STAFF at Rossendale Leisure Trust have been given a new look to provide a united image across the borough's sporting venues.

Workers at Whitworth and Haslingden pools, Haslingden Sports Centre and Ski Rossendale have bright new uniforms.

Bosses at Rossendale Leisure Trust decided to invest in the uniforms to help bring all those who work for the trust together as one team.

Trust spokesman Darren Sienkiewicz said: "Staff now co-operate more in many areas and many staff work at several centres.

"It was felt that the time had come to make sure everybody looked like a team. This is very important for staff who work at several centres, so they always look at home wherever they are.

"We decided to make our staff really stand out from the crowd and have clothing specially made in our corporate colours, which can be seen on our logo which is violet, white and green.

"What really stands out is that they have not just been supplied with the same old plain polo shirts that everybody else wears and so when you visit a Rossendale Leisure Trust facility you can have no problem spotting one of the ever helpful staff when you need them."
