I’ve enjoyed 35 years’ experience in the leisure management sector having served my ‘apprenticeship’ as a Lifeguard, Instructor and Duty Manager. Got lucky after that, holding some pretty senior leadership roles!I’ve been a Director and Board member at ukactive, a Quest Board member and I’m a Fellow of CIMSPA. I developed and deliver a sector-specific and CIMSPA-endorsed Transformational Leadership Programme.I’m passionate about physical activity, sport and well-being. I’ve a thirst for being better tomorrow than I was today and I’ve developed my own style of leadership over the years – people have been kind enough to tell me it’s inspirational – I’m persuasive and challenging of convention and always with a dollop of good humour.
