New head of NRA Training and Membership
Posted: Wed Aug 08, 2012 11:01 am
I recieved this email this morning from the NRA.
Does anybody know Richard Blackmore, and does he have any shooting background?
I'm not surgesting he should have a shooting background, but the bit that leaves me wondering if this is the right appointment for the job is the fact that he has worked in over 60 different health clubs.
I hope he hasn't targeted (pun intended!) the NRA for yet another line on his CV!
"NRA Head of Membership & Training
I am pleased to announce that Richard Blackmore has been appointed as Head of Membership & Training.
Richard has joined the NRA after 13 years in the health and fitness industry where he worked for David Lloyd Leisure for 5 years and more recently the industry’s trade association, The Fitness Industry Association, holding the position of Sales & Membership Director.
Richard has a track record of growing and developing membership bases which in turn has helped increase the representation within the relevant sector. Having worked in over 60 different health clubs plus with large organisations within the private and public sectors of sport Richard will bring valuable experience to the organisation on creating partnerships and developing new member initiative’s.
Throughout his career he has been responsible for delivering internal training on best practice including customer service and communications and this will become an initial focus in the early days of his role to ensure NRA members receive a high quality service from their National Governing Body.
He can be contacted on richard.blackmore@nra.org.uk.

Acting Chief Executive"
