Chris Walsh

E L E C T E D    M E M B E R

Date Appointed:

March 2024

Background:

Walsh is steeped in basketball. A former player with Bolton and an active and experienced member of Basketball England’s North West Region, where he is acting chair, he is also coach and club administrator of the small but growing Chorley Mammoths community club in Lancashire.

Professionally, Walsh is formally trained Quantity Surveyor with an extensive background in commercial construction, business management, forensic analysis and the corporate sector of the industry. He runs a company which 'helps firms to implement change and develop’.

He said: “I am not a basketball ‘name’ as it were, but it has been my life for 40 years. I played at the highest level. I’m a junior coach and club administrator of a small but growing community club. My kids have the bug too.

"I get what it is like to be on the ground [in basketball]. I know the highs and lows of running a club. The lows saw me stepping up to put my money where my mouth is, and taking on the role of acting chair of the North West Region.”
