Meet The Trustees

  Richard Harper
  
  My own son and daughter were gymnasts with the Club ‘s early partners and this drew me into coaching and then taking over as the treasurer at SEGC. I have been involved in setting up the charitable status, recovering Gift Aid and fundraising for grants to build the initial gym, refurbish the second building on the previous site and for the new facility in the Sporting Village. So I have been involved with the SEGC for almost thirty years. My work experience include purchasing, payroll, industrial relations, and management of production, engineering, IT and finance facilities.

  My son began gymnastics at the age of 5 and at 7 we moved him to SEGC where he was trained under Scott Hann. In the same year he qualified for Regional squad and a year later, the National squad (unfortunately retiring at 14 due to injury and interests outside the sport). I have always been involved in sport and became more involved in gymnastics by becoming a coach at SEGC and then a National Mens Gymnastics Judge. My career started with engineering where I qualified with honours in both mechanical and electronic engineering, I then went on to study Business Management. My career has been predominately in the IT sector where I ran both National and International companies. I took a career direction change around eight years ago and now run a successful national CCTV company.

  My daughter was a rhythmic gymnast, coached at South Essex by Judith and Verity and progressed on to represent England at the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur and to represent Great Britain in several competitions. Although I am not involved with the day to day running of the club, I am the Company Secretary and I am very interested in what goes on, helping out where I can. I have worked in an accountancy practice for several years and recently qualified as a Chartered Certified Accountant.

  I have been involved in the gym as my step daughters were gymnasts and are now coaches and my sons came to mother and toddler and then Pre School and Gymschool until we moved to Herfordshire. I have been a Human Resource manager for many years and provide any management training for the Head Coaches.

  Some 25 years ago my son started gymnastics at the age of 5 and I soon got drawn in becoming firstly a helper, then coach, then later Trustee. He left 10 years later having twice been the Regional Champion. I spent 22 years as a Commodity Trader in the City and then ran a small retail business for 15 years.
