The British Olympic Association has appointed three new members to their Board, including current British Judo Chief Executive Andrew Scoular.

Scoular will join Vicky Gosling OBE, CEO of GB Snowsport and Juliet Slot, who who worked on the London 2012 bid and is currently Chief Commercial Officer at Ascot Racecourse, joins as an Independent Non-Executive Director (INED) on the BOA Board.

The BOA bade farewell to winter sports’ representative Hew Chalmers – who remains on the International Curling Federation board – as his two-term Governance limit was reached, whilst Triathlon’s Ian Howard – who remains a director of the International Triathlon Union – also joined Hew in departing the Board.

Scoular has been Chief Executive of British Judo since 2013, having previously worked for the Rugby Football Union, Scottish Hockey and Glasgow City Council’s sports team. He is a former Scotland hockey international having over 120 caps to his name and is an international coach.

Andrew commented: “I feel extremely privileged and proud to have been elected to the BOA Board.” 

“I’m really looking forward to the next few years which will be exciting times for sport with both the Tokyo and the Beijing Olympic Games”
