We are committed to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and our approach goes beyond ‘protected characteristics’ to thinking more broadly about inclusion. Every individual will think and feel differently and we believe that these differences should be embraced, and individual needs taken into account. Additionally, the makeup of the rural communities we work with leads to their own particular diversity and exclusion challenges and opportunities compared to urban areas. Our commitment to EDI, both internally and externally, has been tailored to Plunkett and the communities we serve.

The British Swimming Pool Federation sits at the centre of the UK wet leisure industry. It safeguards standards, supports businesses and provides a unified voice for a sector that underpins public safety, professional integrity and economic activity across the UK.
Although associated with leisure and wellbeing, pools and spas require rigorous standards and responsible regulation. When those standards are strong, trust is protected and harm is prevented. The Federation plays a critical role in maintaining professionalism and credibility across the sector.
Representing over 300 member businesses (through BISHTA and SPATA) and overseeing the delivery of SPATEX, the industry’s flagship exhibition, BSPF works with government, standards bodies and international partners to influence policy and shape the sector’s long-term direction.
Following a long and successful tenure, the current Managing Director will be handing over to a successor, creating a rare opportunity to step into a sector-shaping leadership role.
The Opportunity
BSPF has strong foundations, trusted relationships and financial stability. The opportunity now is to strengthen and extend that position by growing membership, reinforcing commercial resilience and ensuring continued relevance in a changing commercial and regulatory landscape.
This is a leadership role with genuine ownership.

You bring:
• Experience working with Boards or membership-led organisations
• Accountability for financial performance and income sustainability
• A track record of strengthening membership engagement or commercial development
• Confidence operating under scrutiny and navigating diverse stakeholder views

A competitive salary and benefits package is offered, reflecting the responsibility, visibility and influence of the role.
If you are ready to take ownership of a respected national body and strengthen its long-term impact, we welcome your application.
