My experience is wide within the sport of Athletics and the Fitness industry and with my professional background and knowledge of the voluntary sector from working with a variety of charities I feel that I could positively influence a resurgence of Endurance/Road running within England Athletics.

I have a wide network of contacts worldwide that has helped me to develop my coaching and development knowledge, my ears and eyes are always open and I have a huge desire to see our athletes in Great Britain gain the confidence and desire to perform on the international stage, I also have experience in organizing major events.
