Richard Leman has a long career as an international and indoor hockey player, businessman, and administrator. After successfully representing Great Britain from 1980 to 1990, including winning gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, he joined the finance sub-committee of the Hockey Association, navigating through the association’s near financial ruin, before joining Team GB as president, where he played an instrumental role in raising the profile of British hockey both before and after the London 2012 Olympics.
