WHO WE ARE

MEET THE DIRECTORS

Our team of directors is dedicated to creating a supportive and fun atmosphere for everyone that joins us. Here is some deeper background around the friendly faces behind the running of DOSportUK.

  • Jacob Meaton

    Managing Director

    Jacob is the founder and creator of DOSportUK. Having a background in coaching from the age of 19, Jacob has been working within disability sport for 12 years. 

     Jacob is currently undertaking his degree in Learning Disability Nursing and Social Work which he hopes to link into the company in the near future and help better the lives of people with a disability across Derbyshire and Greater Manchester. 

  • Jon Stonebridge

    Non-executive Director

    Jon brings a wealth of basketball experience to the table. Having played professionally in the UK for the majority of his adult life, Jon knows the game inside and out. It was in this period where Jon started to coach people with an intellectual disability and eventually ended up as the disability officer for Basketball England. This is when he and Jacob became acquainted and together, with Paul, set up DOSportUK.

  • Paul Meaton

    Non-executive Director

    Having had experience in the early stages of his working career (just a few years ago...) in supporting people with a learning disability, Paul has since gone on to study in employment law and currently works as a trade union representative for the Royal College of Nursing. 

     Paul's knowledge and expertise help shape the company in the background and allows DOSportUK to continue to grow and thrive. Also the father of Jacob of course!
