Nigel is a former international rugby referee of 17 years, retiring from Test Rugby in 2020 after a successful career in sport, having officiated 100 games, including Rugby World Cups.
Owens came out as gay in 2007, and speaking on inclusion in sport, he said: “It is important that we are all treated the same and that we are judged on our character and nothing else. Not on the colour of your skin, your sexuality, religious beliefs, or wherever you come from.”
Nigel is a proud advocate for equality, diversity and inclusion and will be helping us spread the word about our training offer for sport and appearances at Accelerate Sport hosted events.
