He has personally delivered a wide range of Chair, INED, C-level and senior functional (Operations, Commercial, Finance) appointments across the sport and leisure landscape and has become a trusted partner to many organisations.

What clients say
Kit rapidly built a strong partnership with us and the results (new CEO, Commercial Director, Chairman) are testimony to his success. Looking at the new governance and leadership in British Cycling I am confident we can become the best in class governing body that we intend to be. I am equally confident that Kit has played a huge role in making that happen.
