Hollingsworth, chief operating officer at UK Sport, will take up his new role
|
|
in July ahead of [**London 2012**][3]. He takes over from Phil Lane, who
|
|
stepped down in February.
|
|
|
|
BPA chairman Tim Reddish said: 'This is a crucial appointment for our
|
|
organisation as we head into what will be the most important Games ever for
|
|
Paralympic sport in the UK."
|
|
|
|
"I am thrilled to join the BPA at this vital time in its history," added
|
|
Hollingsworth.
|
|
|
|
"With not much more than a year to go before London 2012, there is a
|
|
tremendous opportunity not just to maximise our athletes' success at the Games
|
|
but also to drive a step-change in Paralympic sport and its ability to impact
|
|
on attitudes and change people's lives."
|
|
|
|
Sport and Olympics minister Hugh Robertson said: "This is one of the most
|
|
important jobs in sport as we approach the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic
|
|
Games.
