Basketball England Confirm Appointment of Mark Clark as Interim CEO

By Bradley Gains on April 9, 2015

Basketball England have officially announced that Elected Director Mark Clark has become interim CEO after Huw Morgan resigned from the post.

Clark, who is also Director of the GB Regional Institute, Barking Abbey, and Head Coach of their WBBL team, has accepted the role on an interim basis with the search for a permanent CEO already underway.

Clark takes over as the sport tries to realise a £36million investment which will be channeled through Bball UK – a private entity that is now being run by the former CEO and three former Independent Directors, Ameesh Manek, Andrew Ryan and Rick Boomgaardt.

“It is exciting to find an investment opportunity that will benefit the whole sport from grassroots to national teams,” said Chairman Jan Hagen. “We’re committed to work with all stakeholders in the sport to try and realise this.”

Morgan had left his role as CEO of the National Governing Body in order to continue to move forward with plans at BBall UK.

Basketball England have also appointed Russ Lidstone and Allan Heye as two of their new Independent Directors, with a third expected to be announced in due course.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
