- Sheffield Knights BHC (Formally Sheffield Storm DHC), Chairman, 2012-08, 2017-07, I have been a member of the team since September 2011 and was voted in as chairman from August 2012. I oversee the whole operation of the club and am at the forefront of sponsorship and fundraising to keep membership costs low. I work with a dedicated team to make sure the club is run correctly and to ensure we have funds available for away trips and equipment. I have also been successful in organising a European trip to Heilbronn, Germany where the club competed in a friendly European tournament.
- Yorkshire Ball Hockey, Chairman, 2015-08, 2017-07, Whilst working with the Sheffield Knights, we decided to try and setup teams in the Yorkshire region. Firstly, we went to Hull and created the Kingston Royals (who are now the Hull Riverkings). This involved starting a team and using my skills from developing the Sheffield Storm and the rebrand to the Sheffield Knights, we created a team in Hull who worked closely with the Knights. The following season we created the Leeds Centurions and following the blueprint, we managed to create a team in all 3 cities in each part of Yorkshire. We did look at York, however, without a following of ice hockey in that city, it would have taken a longer time., Reason for leaving: The business I created was getting really busy and I couldn't commit the right amount of time as I would have liked.
Other Information
- I also have a PSV automatic licence obtained when working for Metroline Travel.
- I have 3 parts of my CPC out of 5 working with Proctors Coaches.
- I have also covered as charge hand/foreman during my time at Abellio Walworth.
