Nigel Paul Smith, 3rd December 1967 – 1st November 2024

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our much-respected Board Director, Nigel Smith, who died on 1st November 2024 after a short illness.

Nigel joined the Board of Directors at Sport Resolutions in early 2019. In addition to being a valued member of the Management Board, he chaired the company’s Audit and Risk Committee.

With over 30 years of experience in senior finance roles across both private and not-for-profit sectors, Nigel was a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and an Associate Member of the Association of Corporate Treasurers.

Nigel’s last role was as Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Executive at ELEXON Ltd., where he served for many years. He also held a directorial position at Electricity Market Reform Settlement Ltd.

Nigel was not only a highly regarded colleague but also a dear friend to many of us. Our heartfelt sympathies and thoughts are with his beloved wife, Jo, and his family during this incredibly difficult time.

A memorial service in Nigel’s honour will take place on Monday 25th November 2024, in London.
