British Cycling CEO Brian Facer leaves post with immediate effect — governing body looks for new head weeks after announcing controversial Shell partnership cycling
British Cycling has announced that its CEO, Brian Facer, has stepped down from his role “with immediate effect,” with the decision said to have been taken “by mutual agreement with the board of directors.” The news comes a fortnight after the governing body was widely criticised after unveiling petrochemical giant Shell as its new official partner.
“Our new CEO will join the organisation at an exciting time as we build towards next year’s inaugural UCI Cycling World Championships in Scotland, and the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024,” he added. “Within our new commercial programme, this partnership with Shell UK brings powerful support for cycling, will help us to improve and will make more people consider cycling and cyclists.”
There was further controversy in September when it was forced to issue an apology after initially suggesting that cyclists should avoid riding their bikes during Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral and procession.
