He coached athletes at the club from novices up to international and developed the club substantially during his time in charge. Until 2008 the head coach was Simon Cox who after taking over from Simon Dennis in 2005 went on to coach the Henley Royal Regatta winning crew in 2006, before taking up a position with Swiss Rowing. His replacement is Olympic Gold Medallist Steve Trapmore MBE.
