David Pond is one of those unique Great British Bosses in sport in this country.

He started off his working life teaching PE after studying at Loughborough at the same time as Lord Coe and with Sir Clive Woodward (who he's still on an 'old boys' WhatsApp group with). There was then more than two decades in the Royal Navy, followed by Consulting before running Great British Wheelchair Rugby from before 2012 right through to the Gold medal success at the delayed Tokyo Paralympics.

And now's he's overseeing the delivery of the European Wheelchair Rugby Championships in Cardiff in May, while also helping delivery supplies to Ukraine...

This is Great British Bosses from Anything but Footy - and its quite a journey! Enjoy!
