Endurance GB Finance Director Chris Wray steps back pending disciplinary enquiry

Endurance GB has announced that the organisation’s Finance Director, Chris Wray, is to step back from his duties on the Board of Directors pending the outcome of a disciplinary enquiry. The move came following the organisers of the Tilford Ride filing a disciplinary report with Endurance GB’s Disciplinary Committee.

A spokesperson for Endurance GB said:

Chris Wray is to step back from duties as a Board Director until the incident, which took place on Sunday 9th August at the Tilford Ride, has been investigated and ruled on by the Disciplinary Committee.

Mr Wray has also withdrawn his future ride entries and will not enter an Endurance GB ride until such time that the Disciplinary Committee has reached its conclusion. He will continue to volunteer in a supporting role on the Finance sub-committee but will not attend Board meetings or participate any further in Board activities or decisions at this time.”
