Ed Bellamy
Executive Committee

Since then I have joined the race team, been a volunteer boot fitter and qualified as a ski instructor, development coach and performance coach. Currently I am working towards qualifying as an alpine development coach (L4) after completing the initial training week in Italy earlier this year.
My current roles at the club focus on my role as an instructor and coach, taking leading roles at
Junior Club, Race Training, Masters and Instructor Training, but also assisting with other areas.
Through these roles I have also worked with freestylers and snowboarders, particularly in relation to skier cross and boarder cross.
Outside of skiing I work part time as a solicitor and also helping to manage my family business.”
Ian Wilson
Executive Committee
“I joined the ski club in 2015 ahead of our first family ski holiday that winter. What started out as
merely functional exercise soon turned into a hobby and then a passion. The evenings and
Saturdays spent bringing my 2 children back and forth didn’t feel like a chore, there was something
about the atmosphere at the club that gripped me. I do ski myself but have found my niche as a supporting act for my children, taking them
to ski all over the UK and also doing a bit of officiating.
I have worked in financial services and travel for 20+ years in commercial roles, working for British
Airways, Virgin Money, Aviva and Legal & General. I now work for John Lewis Financial Services
where I head the Car and Pet Insurance propositions. I want to be able to use my extensive experience from the commercial world to help the club retain its enviable position both in the community and in UK sport, reinforcing its place as the best dry slope in the country.
