Angie Sword 

Development Officer

I was appointed in April 2007 to a new post of OnBoard Development offcer. After working with other projects such as Sailing in the City my position then evolved to Development Officer. Within this role I look after the OnBoard Programme and linking Sailing to schools including the Sail to Learn programme. I am also still involved in project work currently working on Olympic Activation.

My previous work life has been varied with experience including programming and project work with various Life Assurance companies. I have run my own complimentary therapies business and have taught sailing and swimming on a freelance basis.

I have sailed since age 7. I have raced in toppers, lasers then contenders before moving into double handers laser 2's, fireballs, 505's then RS200's. I currently sail a laser.

Interesting facts:

• All the staff curently in the Development Team are left handed.
• I was in Laser squad with Shirley Robertson
