David Joy to step down as British Canoeing CEO 11.12.2021

British Canoeing has announced that David Joy will be standing down as CEO after six years leading the organisation.


David Joy joined British Canoeing in January 2016 and in his first year led on the development of a new strategic plan, Stronger Together. Under David’s leadership, the organisation has delivered against the ambitions and action plans within the strategic plan to strengthen governance, improve the financial position and achieve notable growth and success.
 
Among other successes British Canoeing points out a growth in British Canoeing membership from 32,000 in 2016 to more than 90,000 members, the launch of the Clear Access, Clear Waters campaign – calling for a change to rights to access, rivers and waterways for paddling activity, success on the international stage for our athletes and teams across the competition disciplines, and achieving performance targets at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the hosting of international events and winning the rights to host the ICF Freestyle World Championships in 2022 and the 2023 ICF Slalom World Championships …
 
“It has been my privilege and pleasure to work with our board and dedicated and talented team of staff and volunteers for the last six years. In 2016, I was invited as CEO to lead the creation and implementation of a new strategy for British Canoeing. I am very proud to have played my small part in the significant progress that we have made in so many areas of British Canoeing. Now feels like the right time for change, both for me and the organisation and I wish my successor and everyone within British Canoeing continued success in the future,” said Joy who will step down in May 2022.
