Elected Directors

Chris Keighley

Chris was part of the first wave of Parkour practitioners in the UK starting around 2004. He has been a strong presence in the community as an early influence in the London scene and is prolific in the parkour coaching community as a coach for Parkour Generations and a tutor for Parkour UK and ADAPT Qualifications.

Chris has been a constant presence in the community as a practitioner, coach, speaker and advocate for Parkour. In addition to his position at Parkour UK he is a board member at Parkour Earth – influencing the progress of parkour at an international level.

Richard Marshall

Richard is a battle-hardened entrepreneur turned digital industry analyst and consultant. Richard spotted the potential of smartphone apps very early on and founded one of the first specialist firms dedicated to mobile. After 18 years of start-ups and growth companies, he switched to producing many important thought leadership research reports and helping emerging technology companies explain what they do. He started practicing Parkour in 2018 and it immediately became an important part of his life because of the whole body exercise, the mental impact, the amazing supportive community, and because it is just so much fun. I am delighted to support the national governing body as a small recompense for the immense benefit I receive from Parkour.

Frazer Meek

Based in South Wales UK, Frazer has been practising parkour for 16 years now, since Jump Britain aired. Through the years Frazer has formed several professional freerunning companies based around performance, coaching and community (Fluidity Freerun in 2005 and “Fluidity Freerun Academy” in 2016, Wales’ indoor parkour centre), as well as being a former sponsored member of Urban Freeflow. With grass routes as a priority, Frazer ran a number of websites and forums as well as leading numerous classes, workshops and meetups/jams across the country. Frazer has joined the board as the Welsh Elected Director and brings his knowledge and skill base from within the community!
