UK ATHLETICS EXECUTIVE TEAM
As the national governing body for athletics, UK Athletics (UKA) oversees the development and management of the nation’s favourite Olympic and Paralympic sport, from grassroots right through to podium. Since its inception in 1999, UKA has developed to become the most successful and robust athletics governing body in the world. Over the years it has matured to generate a clear vision for the sport – to drive up performance and raise standards in every event, every region and every age group.
UKA employs circa 90 full and part time staff to provide leadership, management, coordination and administration. They ae motivated in ensuring athletics remains the most popular Olympic/Paralympic sport. Yet the purpose of UKA does not end at preparing athletes for the Olympic/Paralympic world stage. Not only does it create mass appeal of a truly breath-taking spectator sport through televised events, UKA also plays a fundamental role in developing a “sport for all‟ by encouraging participation no matter what your age, ability or background.
