Roger Black MBE

For over 14 years, Roger Black MBE represented Great Britain at the highest level in the world of athletics as an individual 400m runner and a member of the 4x400m relay team. In his athletic career, he won 15 major championship medals, including three Olympic, four World Championships, six European Championships and two Commonwealth.

His greatest achievement was winning the Olympic 400m silver medal in the 1996 games in Atlanta, and he is particularly admired for his triumphs over adversity, successfully overcoming several serious injuries throughout his career.

He was awarded an MBE in 1992 for his services to sport, and is now a TV presenter, business owner and motivational speaker. He is one of those unique people who have achieved greatness both as an individual and as part of a team and so understands the dynamics of becoming a champion. Utilising this experience, Roger is able to inspire and entertain audiences up and down the country through his speeches, Q&As and event hosting.
