Chris Davies to Retire as CEO
Notice to Members from Richard Compton-Burnett
I am writing to let you know that Chris Davies has decided to retire next June after 16 years as CEO.
Chris has led the T&RA during a time of significant change and there have been many notable successes during his tenure. He has worked extremely hard and with great determination. Although we face some real challenges, we have strong foundations for the future success of both games and the Board is enormously grateful to Chris for his contribution over many years.
The Board is keen to make sure that we find a high-quality replacement and that there is time for a proper handover. I am pleased to announce that we recently appointed executive search firm Elevate Talent to assist in the search for our new CEO.
Elevate Talent brings a distinguished track record of successfully appointing executive leaders within the UK sports sector. They will conduct a comprehensive and robust search process, leveraging their extensive network and expertise to identify and attract the best candidate for this role.
If you or anyone you know might be interested in applying for the role, please send a copy of your CV to Helen Soulsby (helen.soulsby@oneelevate.com) who will be leading the delivery of this assignment.
We aim to appoint a new CEO by the end of 2025, with a comprehensive handover period scheduled to begin in April 2026.
