The Board of Trustees are delighted to announce that John Willmott is to be appointed Chair of The Hockey Museum (THM), effective 1 April 2020.

In the interim, John will join as a Trustee in order to gain knowledge and experience of the museum’s affairs, and will attend upcoming trustee meetings in December and March.

He will also use this period to meet as many trustees, staff and volunteers as possible before taking up his position.

John will be known to many in the hockey world, in particular for having been:

• Both a past Chair and President of Southgate Hockey Club
• A director of the 1986 Hockey World Cup; and
• Organiser of many touring teams/events and festivals.

He has significant business experience in the construction industry and is currently involved in a number of charities and local organisations as Chair.

Philip Kimberley will continue to act as Chair until John takes up his appointment and the Board would like to thank him for stepping in following Katie’s Dodd’s resignation in July.
