British Cycling Appoints Chris Pilling as New Independent Chair
British Cycling has officially announced the appointment of Chris Pilling as its new independent chair. Pilling, who is a highly experienced senior executive director, will now lead the board of the national governing body for cycling in Great Britain.
Before taking on this new role, Pilling served as the non-executive chair of the board. His background in senior leadership positions is expected to bring stability and professional guidance to the organization as it continues to manage its sporting and administrative responsibilities.
The appointment comes at a significant time for the sport, as British Cycling looks to maintain its success on the international stage while also encouraging more people across the United Kingdom to take up cycling.

As the new independent chair, Pilling will be responsible for ensuring that the organization follows high standards of governance. His leadership will be vital in supporting the staff and athletes as they prepare for upcoming competitions and continue to develop cycling programs for communities throughout the country.
