About our Trustees
Craig Williams
Hi! I’m Craig and I joined Port Talbot Harriers in 2017. I was elected as a Trustee in 2020. For the past 2 years I have acted as Club Secretary and I am delighted to be moving into my new position as Club Chairperson. My responsibilities include organising the Trustee meetings, sourcing club partners, listening to member’s queries and questions and putting them forward for discussion at Trustees meetings. Together with the other Trustees, we then set the strategy of the club to keep it current and sustainable for another 100 years.
James Lowery
Hi! I am James and I first joined the club in May 2018. I was elected as a Trustee in August 2022. During my time as a Trustee, I have been Head of Communications and Social Media. Working with the Social Media Team we keep an eye on all things Port Talbot Harriers and share the successes our members achieve. Along with continuing my work as Head of Communications and Social Media, I am absolutely honoured to become the new Secretary of the club along my role as Head of Communications and Social Media. This is a huge honour and I am looking forward to helping drive the club forward and taking it from strength to strength.
David Kingsland
Hi! I am David and I have been a member of Port Talbot Harriers since 2015. I was elected as a Trustee in 2015. My role within the club is finance. As Club Treasurer, I ensure the cash flow and accounts are always accounted for and I am delighted to be carrying on my role as Treasurer for our club for another year.
Cathryn Williams
Hi! I’m Cathryn and I first joined Port Talbot Harriers in 2018. I was elected as a Trustee in 2022. During my time at the club I have been Women’s Vice Team Captain and in 2021 was voted Women’s Club Captain. I love seeing our women go from strength to strength, pushing boundaries and achieving their goals. A personal highlight for me in my time as Captain, has been to pilot and produce the first ever Port Talbot Harriers Women’s Team to run at the Welsh Castles Relay. I am delighted to be carrying on this role into the next calendar year and hope to keep inspiring and help grow the number of women in sport. I am also Head of Partnership Relations, meaning I help to maintain a working relationship with our club partners. I also help out on the Social Media Team and coach as part of the Running and Triathlon Coaching Team.
