Jamie Armstrong
Sports Centre Manager
At a young age I
gained my first taste of working in the leisure industry as I trained and
worked as a lifeguard at a small multi-use leisure centre in Gloucestershire. In time I gained valuable experience and
qualifications and progressed to a Duty Officer. On concluding my studies at school I left
the Leisure Centre to continue my studies at Liverpool John Moore’s University,
studying Sports Development with P.E. My
Degree led me into Sports Coaching, giving me the opportunity to work alongside
some great coaches in both America and the UK.
Originally from Stratford Upon Avon, I moved down to London to work for
a sports coaching company as a multi-sport coach, working in primary schools
across London delivering high quality PE lessons. In January 2011 I was given the opportunity
to return to the leisure industry as a Duty Manager at Academy Sport. I embraced the role and built up great
rapport with Westminster Academy and partners, which led to, in May 2013, being
offered Sports Centre Manager at Academy Sport.
As Sports Centre Manager I have been given great opportunities to
develop and progress the centre, culminating in an Active Westminster Award for
‘Active Place’ in November 2012. |

Receptionist
I have worked in many organisations such as West Ham United Football
Club, Allders Department Store and QS PLC. At QS I worked as a cashier and then
later I was promoted to a supervisory role, from which I gained a lot of
experience within customer care/service.
I then started to pay particular
attention to my education at Metropolitan University as a business management student;
from there I had a year off from working as I was blessed with starting a
family and now have two wonderful boys. Since then I have had roles
volunteering within the charity industry.
Then in 2011 I was given the opportunity to work at Academy Sport as a
full-time Receptionist. This has allowed
me to work with people within the community and local residents. In this time I have built up great
relationships with staff, customers and partners and really enjoy being part of
the Academy Sport Team!
