Andrew Whelan has been appointed as the new chairman of Jersey Sport’s board of directors.
The charity announced that Whelan, selected unanimously for his extensive experience in the finance sector, will oversee the organisation’s "overall performance, reporting, and governance." Supported by the government, Jersey Sport is dedicated to making sports and physical activities accessible to all residents of the island.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the voluntary position, Whelan, a former representative of Jersey in basketball and rugby, stated, “Having played sports within and for the island over the past four decades, it’s wonderful to contribute to the ongoing development and growth of island sports.”
