Louise Pennell 
 

Louise now works for herself but is currently undertaking a project for Optua and their Suffolk Disability Sports Academy to develop swimming opportunities for disabled people wwithin Suffolk. 

 

Louise sits on the East Midlands committee for BWLA and holds the post of disabled powerlifting secretary, treasurer and drug liaison officer. 

 

In addition she also has a directorship with BWLA the national governing body for powerlifting and WCL that is responsible for elite athletes within the sport. 

 

 

Louise also coaches and assists fundraising efforts for BWAD and previously focused on the unequipped three lift competition where she retained the British title in both 2005 and 2006 . 

 
 
Daniel Collins
 

Daniel is a Chartered Accountant and currently Finance Director for a Healthcare provider based in London.  As well as competing in Powerlifting Daniel has also won titles in the world of bodybuilding through the Natural Physique Association. 

 

Both Louise and Daniel are involved in the National Coaching Program and are also National IPC referees and with this many roles it is hardly surprising that both have taken a break from competitive lifting to undertake coaching work and be involved in this sport. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
BWLA athletes are drug tested through UK Sport and there is an active discouragement of any performance enhancing drugs being used for any sports and this is supported by all members and coaches.
