David Joy to leave England Golf
David
Joy, the Chief Executive of England Golf, is to leave the organisation
at the end of this year to become the Chief Executive of British
Canoeing.
He announced his resignation to the Board and to staff today and will take up his new appointment on 1 January 1, 2016.
England
Golf Chairman Graham Yates said: “I must thank David Joy for his
enthusiasm and support for England Golf and its aspirations. Significant
progress has been achieved during his 2½ years in office, particularly
with the launch of the Strategic Plan for England Golf, Raising Our
Game.
“David
will remain in office until December 31 and the company will continue
‘business as normal’ until a new appointment is made. Arrangements are
being put in hand in this respect with immediate effect.”
David
Joy joined England Golf in April 2013, following the merger of the
former English Golf Union and English Women’s Golf Association. He
brought with him over 25 years of management experience within national
and local sports organisations, more than 12 of which have been as a
Chief Executive.
During
his tenure he has overseen the launch of the England Golf Strategic
Plan, Raising Our Game, which calls on all who are involved in the sport
to work together to create a brighter future for the game. It aims to
create: more players; more club members; stronger clubs; winning
golfers; outstanding championships; an improved image of the game; and
excellent governance.
