Emma Boggis, Norman Brodie and Greg Nugent have been appointed to the senior roles after the BPA last year updated its Memorandum and Articles of Association, with the Board re-structured to consist of six elected positions and up to four non-executive directors. 

Boggis, a senior civil servant, currently manages the Olympic and Paralympic Legacy Unit in the Cabinet Office which oversees the delivery of the joint Government/Mayor of London Legacy Programme.

Brodie headed up the Cadbury London 2012 sponsorship programme, which included working closely with the BPA on a number of programmes, including leadership development programmes and Paralympic Potential Days, as well as the Spots versus Stripes campaign.

Nugent is the former director of brand, marketing and culture at London 2012 and is currently deputy chairman of the Join In trust, which was created to help maintain the momentum of last year's Olympics and Paralympics and encourage people to volunteer at local sports and community clubs.


The new appointments will sit alongside the six elected Board members, comprising of chairman Tim Reddish, vice-chair Annamarie Phelps, Richard Callicott, Paul Masters, David Hadfield and Geoff Newton. 

"On behalf of the Board, I'd like to welcome Emma, Norman and Greg to the BPA," said Reddish.

"Following the thorough review of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, we identified the need to bring in the expertise of these non-dxecutive directors in a way which would complement the skills and competencies of the Board.

"I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of this process and the quality and range of experience that our new Board-members have to offer matches their passion for Paralympic sport.

"With their help and support, I am confident that we will make further progress on our ambition to make the UK the leading nation in Paralympic sport and, through this, to inspire a better world for disabled people."
