Derbyshire's Competition Managers team expands

5 June 2008

Derbyshire’s Competition Managers team has expanded, with the appointment of Jo Barnett and Chloe Morley.

Jo joined the team in May, and is working closely with School Sport Partnerships in the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales to co-ordinate and deliver on local High Quality Competition Plans to increase the number of children participating in inter-school sport competitions.

She was previously a School Sport Partnership Development Officer in Staffordshire.

Chloe, who was previously West Midlands Development Manager for English Triathlon, joined the team in June and will work with School Sport Partnerships in Derby City.

They join the existing team of Senior Competition Manager Will Evans and Competition Managers Alice Elcombe and Phil Basterfield, who have been in post since August 2007.

The expansion of the team allows greater targeting of work to be undertaken in local areas than had previously been possible. The revised working areas for the Competition Manager team are:

Jo Barnett - High Peak and Derbyshire Dales
Alice Elcombe - Bolsover, North East Derbyshire and Chesterfield
Phil Basterfield - South Derbyshire, Amber Valley and Erewash
Chloe Morley - Derby City

Jo and Chloe’s appointment follows an announcement by the Prime Minister in June 2007 of an additional £100m for school sport.

The increase in funding also gave the green light for the extension of Derbyshire’s Competition Manager programme, originally for two years, until March 2011.

Senior Competition Manager Will Evans said: “I’m delighted to welcome Jo and Chloe to the team. They bring a wealth of experience to the roles.

“Their appointments mean the whole team can now work even more closely with partners in their specific areas.”
