Sue Campbell CBE - Chair

Sue Campbell trained as a physical education teacher, taught in Manchester and lectured at Leicester and Loughborough Universities. During this time, Sue represented her country as a player, a coach and a team manager. She then went on to spend four years with the East Midlands office of the Sports Council (now Sport England) before moving to the National Coaching Foundation (NCF). Following 11 years as the Chief Executive of the NCF, she became Chief Executive of the Youth Sport Trust. In February 2005, Sue became Chair of that organisation.

Among many honours, Sue has received 5 honorary doctorates, the most recent of which was awarded by Leicester University in 2000. She is a Member of the British Empire, and in March 1998 received the International Olympic Committee President's Prize. In the Queen's Birthday Honours in June 2003, Sue was awarded a Commander of the British Empire for her services to sport.

In January 2000, Sue was seconded on a part-time basis to be the non-political adviser to the DfES and DCMS on physical education and sport.

In March 2005 she was appointed as Chair for UK Sport, the organisation responsible for world class success in the UK following 18 months as the Reform Chair.
