This week’s guest is Jimmy Worrall, founder and CEO of Leaders in Sport, the conference and event business which he created in 2006. We talk about his career in sport which has included successful stints at The English FA, Soccerex and ENIC. The interview took place at Leaders’ offices in Wimbledon. During our conversation, Jimmy referenced Toby Hester, the leading sport sponsorship executive who had sadly passed away the day before we spoke. We join Jimmy in sending our deepest sympathies to Toby’s family.
