Tove Okunniwa, CEO of London Sport, is among those named on the Sport England board

Sports and culture secretary Nicky Morgan has appointed three members to the board of grassroots agency Sport England.

A telecommunications expert, Azeem Akhtar holds a non-executive director role as chair of Active Essex and was named in the UK’s Top 100 Most Influential BAME Business Leaders in 2016.

Meanwhile, David Mahoney – a qualified lawyer – has overseen the strategy, insights, HR, integrity and public policy teams as ECB’s Chief Strategy Officer.
