Rick Durrant
Rick is Managing Director of Nexus Community (the trading name for Wycombe Leisure Ltd). As one of the largest social enterprises in the region Nexus manages sport and leisure facilities in Chiltern and South Bucks Districts in Buckinghamshire and West and South Oxfordshire Districts Oxfordshire. Prior to his current role he taught business subjects in schools and colleges of further education.
With 25 years experience in leisure management and 13 running Nexus Community, his passion has always been to widen access and increase participation in active recreation. As a member of the Bucks Sports Board, Rick hopes he can help deliver real benefit to all sections of our communities across the whole county, using his experience of running an independent “non-profit distributing” organisation. With 2012 Olympics just around the corner he is keen to exploit the legacy opportunities available especially in the area of workforce development and volunteering.
