Mick Oliver: Chair
I have been involved in triathlon on and off since the late 1980s, when I competed with the Royal Navy/Royal Marines Triathlon Team. In more recent years, I represented Great Britain at the Age Group World Championships in 2010 and again in 2023. These days, my focus is on training for health, fitness, and wellbeing, as well as giving something back to the club through my role as Chair.

I am married to Jo and have two grown-up children, Beth and Sam. Outside of triathlon, I have spent 19 years working in secondary education as a teacher and Deputy Head, and I now work as Head of Education at inspire+, a sports and education charity. With my background in both triathlon and leadership, stepping up when the club needed support felt like the right thing to do. Triathlon can be a lonely sport, so my aim has been to work behind the scenes to bring members together around key events, as well as shared training and social opportunities. My aspiration is to help create a club that feels genuinely inclusive—one that supports everyone to achieve their own goals, whether that’s staying fit and healthy through one discipline, or standing on the podium at a World Championships.
