The Post in Context

Wave acquired Meridian Mayhem in 2026. This exciting addition supports Wave Active’s purpose of inspiring active lifestyles whilst making a significant contribution towards our ambition of becoming an independent and financially sustainable organisation.

At Meridian Mayhem, first impressions matter.

For many families, you will be the very first person they meet.

Your smile, enthusiasm and energy will set the tone for their entire visit.

Whether you’re greeting a family, helping someone book a birthday party, answering a question or celebrating a child’s special day, every interaction contributes to the experience we create.

Our guiding principle is simple:

Give Every Person Who Enters the Building a Reason to Return.

Everything we do should support that principle.
