Vision facilities achieve quality accreditation

All of the facilities managed by Vision have been awarded QUEST following a rigorous external accreditation process. QUEST is the recognised quality standard for leisure facilities and the assessment for each centre provides Vision with an excellent tool for continuous improvement. The original plan was to work towards achieving QUEST in 2009 but this was brought forward in order to measure performance against the industry standard.
