“In my time working for both the Royal Yachting Association and the British Judo Association I have grown to understand the power of the sector, its ability to improve the health and mood of the nation, and I have also seen the strength of organisations working together to increase their impact and their performance.
“The Alliance is a fantastic illustration of how we can be stronger together and I look forward to utilising my National Governing Body experience as well as my professional skills and knowledge to continue to help the Alliance excel.”
