Christy to step down as table tennis CEO

Adrian Christy, CEO of Table Tennis England, will step down from his role in December 2024. Christy, who has spent the past 30 years in the sports industry, said the move will allow him to “transition into a new world of retirement”. He was appointed interim CEO of Table Tennis England in December 2021, before being named full-time CEO in May 2022.

Before that, Christy spent 15 years as CEO of Badminton England.

Commenting on Christy’s decision, Table Tennis England Chair, Nick Donald, said: “Adrian joined Table Tennis England in December 2021, at an incredibly challenging time for the sport and the sector more widely.

“Emerging from the pandemic he has led the organisation in re-shaping its strategy and reforming its governance structure to be far leaner, more focused and aligned to its growth ambition.

Christy said: “I’ve spent more than 30 years in sports, having been blessed to work with some extraordinarily talented people.”
