Janet Inman has succeeded Stephen De Wint as chief executive of the Lincolnshire Sports Partnership (LSP), having held the position of head of sport at the organisation.

A former chair of Lincolnshire Volleyball, Inman is national director of development for Volleyball England and has also spent time on the board of directors at LSP. LSP chair Barrie Pierpoint said: "There are some difficult times ahead and having been very successful in her previous role at the LSP, she is well qualified to take up all these challenges."

Inman added: "Sport in Lincolnshire has experienced some key improvements under Steve [De Wint)] and I hope I can continue to build on the strong foundations already established."
