Archery GB appoints Neil Armitage as CEO

Archery GB, the governing body for the sport of archery in Great Britain, has appointed Neil Armitage as Chief Executive Officer.

Neil was appointed Interim CEO in December 2015 and successfully developed a new strategic plan since stepping into the position.

Archery GB Chairman Mark Davies said: “Following a competitive, transparent and rigorous recruitment process, assessing 41 applications from Vancouver to New Zealand and Colombia to Sweden, I am delighted that Neil has agreed to join us on a full-time basis.”

“Neil has already been busy strengthening the relationships with our external stakeholders and his appointment has received the full support of UK Sport and Sport England, our major funding partners.”

Armitage, whose background includes director positions in the technology and financial industries, said he was “looking forward to continuing the good work” he had already begun.

“Archery is a fun, inclusive and accessible sport with a huge amount of opportunity for growth. These are exciting times for our sport and together with our committed team of staff and volunteers, I am confident we can deliver our strategic ambitions,” Neil added.
