England Touch CEO Chris Simon Appointed Chief Operating Officer of FIT

Current England Touch CEO, Chris Simon, is leaving his role to join the Federation of International Touch to become its first Chief Operating Officer in December 2024.

FIT said they were thrilled about the appointment and said online, “Please join us in congratulating Chris in his new role as he ushers the sport into a new era of development and participation.”

England Touch Association (ETA) will be looking to replace him and said, “On behalf of the board and wider team at England Touch, I would like to thank Chris for all he has done and achieved during his five years as CEO. I know how much he has put into getting the organisation and the wider sport of Touch to where it is now. This was none more so than during the recent Touch World Cup. The work put in by Chris and the team helped us to achieve some outstanding results, both on and off the field.

This will help enable us to continue to invest in the growth and development of the game, something all of us are keen to do as part of the impact of hosting the event. Massive congratulations on his new role at FIT, and I know that he will have a massive and positive impact on the global game.” said ETA Chair, Tim Loveridge.
