| Martin Pearse Retires as Chairman of England Squash Masters! |
|
|
In 2004, Martin Pearse created England Squash Masters. He has been Chairman since 2004 and has driven Masters participation in a number of ways. The regional event has grown from 250 competitors to over 800 under his leadership and is recognised as the largest and most successful Masters circuit in the world. He established the Masters Home Internationals Tournament and has helped to inspire many English Masters Players to International successes.
Martin has also been highly successful as a Masters player too, representing England in countless Home International competitions over many years, including tours to South Africa too, winning many regional Masters events and leading his country successfully as England Captain of his various age groups. Martin has also won international titles/medals at World and European level to show his class on the biggest stages.
England Squash Masters and all players involved will be forever in his debt for the vision and hard work that he has invested over the last 14 years and I'm sure everyone will wish him luck in the future with his next venture - Masters Sport UK.
Succeeding him as Chairman of England Squash Masters is Jonathan Gliddon from Devon, who is establishing himself as a successful Masters player and active committee member, recently Captaining the England Over 45 team to success in the recent Home Internationals in Dublin.
