Gillian Sefton appointed as SMS Development Officer
 The
future growth and development of motor sport in Scotland has been
strengthened by the appointment of Gillian Sefton as Development
Officer for Scottish Motor Sports. This appointment follows our recent
launch event, where we announced Sportscotland’s commitment to
invest into the development of motor sport over the next four years.
Gillian,
26, holds a Masters in Sports Management from the University of
Stirling. Her professional career began with North Lanarkshire Leisure,
where she worked as a Duty Officer before holding development positions
with Scottish Swimming and Edinburgh Leisure. Laterally she has
broadened her portfolio, working in sales and business development for
Enterprise Car rental.
Gillian was appointed after a four-way
interview process conducted by a small group of SMS members last month
and will begin work on 18th July.
“We were delighted with
the number and quality of applicants for the post,” said Rory
Bryant, SMS Development Manager. “But after a thorough interview
process, Gillian was the unanimous choice of everyone on the panel. She
has a wealth of sports development experience and demonstrated an
enthusiasm for motor sport, identifying some of the key challenges the
sport faces. This appointment is a significant step forward for
Scottish Motor Sports and will be instrumental to the successful
implementation of our 2016-2020 strategy”.
The role will
be focussed on working with member clubs, to support them in all
aspects of their development from club governance to membership
recruitment initiatives. Gillian will be based out of
sportscotland’s offices in Edinburgh and will benefit from the
provision of a car, courtesy of long-term motor sport supporter John
Clark Motor Group.
