Career Overview
Hammersley laid down the foundations for the gym as it is today over 40 years ago, with the club beginning with modest premises at the local Berry Hill Primary School. As its membership base and equipment began to expand, the gym moved onto new premises at the Royal Forest of Dean College gym.
As the club once more began to outgrow its facilities, an 11-year fundraising operation began, until 1994 when the club was awarded a £100,000 grant by the Foundation for Sport and the Arts, followed by a Lottery grant which combined with their own fundraising efforts enabled them to move into their current facilities in 1996: a fully equipped purpose-built Gymnastics & Fitness Centre at Five Acres, with Olympic standard apparatus.
In September 2020, Hammersley appeared on a Leaders Council of Great Britain & Northern Ireland podcast, discussing the importance of leadership and the impact it has had on her career to date.
