Dan has reached a high level in many sports searching for knowledge that can be used to further both his coaching, and Parkour training methodology.

Stepehen Mitchell, Independent Chair said:

“2016 has already been an incredibly exciting year in the history of Parkour UK and I am personally delighted that we continue to add to our Elected Directors, with Dan Timms, who will continue to help drive the organisation forward. With the ongoing leadership and commitment from our Chief Executive Officer, Eugene Minogue I am confident the community of parkour practitioners and professionals will be inspired to continue to challenge perceptions, engage more participants and deliver even more positive outcomes in the future. At Parkour UK we are committed to develop a National Governing Body of the future, working collaboratively with partners across public health, community safety, sports development, urban design, education and the great outdoors, with the community at heart of every decision we make and a strong Board to govern the discipline appropriately”.
