British Cycling Chief Executive Jon Dutton to depart in July

British Cycling’s Chief Executive Jon Dutton will leave the organisation in July 2026.

Dutton said the decision was made with “careful consideration”, as he prepares to take up the position of CEO at the British Olympic Association (BOA).

“It has been a tremendous honour to lead British Cycling through such an important and ambitious period of change. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together – strengthening our organisation, delivering meaningful impact in communities and laying foundations that will support the sport for many years to come,” he said.

Frank Slevin, Chair of British Cycling, added: “During his tenure at British Cycling, Jon has delivered a significant programme of change, including the publication of our bold new strategy in 2024, securing a new lead commercial partner in Lloyds and continuing our programme of modernisation. The organisation is now better equipped to serve its members, support elite performance and grow participation at every level across the country than at any point in recent memory.”

Slevin added that the implementation of British Cycling’s social impact programme, designed to help tackle inequalities and ensure cycling improves lives in communities across Britain, will form “a core part of Jon’s legacy”.

“The organisation is now better equipped to serve its members, support elite performance and grow participation at every level across the country than at any point in recent memory. We wish him every success as he takes on the CEO role at the BOA and look forward to working closely with him in the years ahead,” Slevin commented.
