Hutchinson posted to double role across Lancashire

Neil Hutchinson, the current managing director of Bolton Arena, has been appointed as the new joint-MD of Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles (IHL) in Wigan.

Hutchinson has led Bolton Arena Sports Village since 2021 and brings more than 30 years of experience in the industry, including as head of group operations at Burnley Leisure.

He replaces Chris Derbyshire as MD at IHL, who stood down at the end of September following more than 20 years at the company – two served as managing director.

The two companies have been sharing strategic financial management for the last few years, as well as working together more collaboratively on several initiatives. Both charities will continue to operate as individual and separate Charitable Trusts.
