'It is wonderful to see so many English officials selected for both World and European events. It shows fully deserved recognition for all of the hard work these officials have put in leading up to the events. With such a large number of individuals selected it highlights the strength and depth of our officials at the performance level. I hope that this will encourage more people to get into officiating as it shows the opportunities available, and I hope it will also inspire current officials to step up to the next level.
