Company Overview

Legend was founded in 2002 by Sean Maguire. Sean’s senior management background in leisure operations, as a director of Healthland Germany limited, and after that, in software, running March Systems, was a natural footing for the business. Sean, along with his founder directors, Ingrid Hay and Ray Edgar, quickly established a reputation for delivering quality projects and for forming close client partnerships. A few years on Legend has become a leading provider of leisure management solutions in the UK and Europe.

Legend’s success is based on producing quality and value. This shines through in our people, processes, customer service and product. Therefore it is no surprise that Legend continues to sit at the forefront of developments in leisure management technology. Clients play an active part in the continuous improvement of Legend systems. Clients enjoy a responsive R&D relationship and of course Legend’s free upgrades policy.

Much of Legend’s competitiveness stems from the ability to provide clients a fully managed centrally hosted ‘turnkey’ solution. This has been enthusiastically endorsed by all operators – from public sector leisure centres, independent health club operators of all sizes to the largest private health club chains in the UK. It is Legend’s quality product and superior service levels that assures clients of both short term gains and long term operating efficiencies from the system.

The provision of Managed Services on a centrally hosted ‘turnkey’ model is a growing trend. There are significant savings and performance improvements with this model. Its popularity is not surprising as it ticks all the right boxes – application performance, service levels, resilience and the all important ‘TCO’, lowest Total Cost of Ownership solution. Legend has embraced this technology wholeheartedly to deliver the product in a convenient and cost-effective manner to a market weary of the difficulties in operating traditional computer systems.

Legend’s mission is to provide the best management software experience for leisure organisations. This we aim to achieve through a rich, quality software solution underpinned by world class quality standards and all-hours extended service provision seven days per week.
