Reacting to the news, Keir Worth, England Squash CEO, commented, “I am thrilled and proud that England Squash has been shortlisted for one of the most prestigious awards in British sport.

“This is fantastic recognition of the progress made over the last 12 months, and whilst there is much to be done, to be acknowledged for the progress to date is very encouraging for the whole squash community.”

Nick Keller, chairman, Sport Industry Group, said: “In a year when national governing bodies are reviewing their roles, not just in sport but in society, it’s fantastic to see such a diverse group of organisations that are making such an effort to take sport into our communities, reach higher levels of performance, and engage with the corporate world.”
