More recently, she stepped into the role of Chair of Hertfordshire LTA.

Bridie brings a wealth of experience and passion to the role. A former management consultant and marketing executive, she now works as a Level 3 LTA Accredited Coach. A lifelong tennis player, she has represented clubs and her county since her junior days and has recently competed for Great Britain in ITF Seniors’ events.

Bridie Amos, commented, “I am thrilled to be appointed to the role of Deputy President and look forward to working with Roy and the volunteer workforce to build on the progress made in putting tennis and Padel at the heart of communities across the country”.

Rachel Baillache, Chair of the interview panel, commented, “Bridie is an inspiring volunteer with a deep commitment to tennis at all levels. Her blend of strategic thinking, hands-on coaching experience, and grassroots passion made her an outstanding candidate for this important role. We’re excited to see the impact she’ll continue to make."

Roy Colabawalla, who will become LTA President in 2026, added, "I’ve worked closely with Bridie for over three years and have seen first-hand her energy, insight and drive. I know we’ll make a great team as we continue to represent the LTA and push forward our vision of Tennis Opened Up. Bridie’s appointment is a big win for our sport”.
