The UK arts and culture industry generated a turnover of approximately £12.4bn in 2011 and supported 110,600 FTE. Indeed, in terms of additional spend within the industry for every £1.00 of salary an extra £2.01 was generated in the wider economy. The economic value of the sector is therefore of great importance. However, the sector is also important as an attractor to inbound visitors and to its positive impact on health and wellbeing (source: The Value of Arts and Culture to People and Society).
With this forming the context, this highly specialist and specialised sector is a dynamic performer in The Leisure Consultancy's portfolio, and our work includes concept development, market and financial feasibility studies, business planning, project review, financial appraisals and cultural strategy development.
