TOP RECOGNITION FOR PAUL DAVIS

Paul Davis has been recognised as one of the UK’s Top 100 Influential People for 2026.

Paul Davis, who is part of BF’s Fencing Development Team, has been named as one of the UK’s Top 100 Influential People for 2026, recognising individuals who are making a meaningful impact across sport, education, culture, health and community.

The recognition reflects the values Paul has built his academy (Paul Davis Fencing Academy) upon: growth, opportunity, and helping young people become the best version of themselves both on and off the piste.

Speaking on the award, Paul said:

“It’s a huge honour to be recognised among such an inspiring group of people. This award represents the collective effort, support and shared vision behind everything I do, and I’m incredibly grateful to be included in the Top 100 Influential People for 2026.”

BF Head of Coaching & Workforce, Chris Turner, commented:

“This is a great honour for Paul and reflects the hard work he has put into the development of his academy providing opportunities for athletes and coaches to develop a daily basis. As a member of the Fencing Development Team, Paul has been innovative in using our on-demand coaching course offer supporting close to 40 coaches to achieve their ITCF qualification within the context of his academy.”
