British Esports has announced the appointment of former Olympic swimmer Alice Dearing as Co-Vice Chair. She will join the organization’s leadership team alongside current Co-Vice Chair Lord Vaizey of Didcot and British Esports Chair Andy Payne.
Alice Dearing has been working with British Esports since September 2022 as a member of its advisory board.
