Sport England has appointed sports consultancy PSA Sport as an advisor for the English Institute of Sport (EIS).

PSA will help with the co-ordination of major lottery applications, and is currently handling the English Institute of Sport South West at the University of Bath and the proposed Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy.

Both centres are designed to train and support athletes of the highest level to help them attain their optimum performances.

'Although PSA Sport is a young company it has the background, knowledge and expertise to work alongside Sport England and the EIS,' said director of PSA, Phillip Sandilands.
