Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) chief executive Belinda Moore will leave the organisation later this month, having resigned in order to “focus on other opportunities”.

Moore joined the league in October 2022 when the company, then known as Women’s Premier 15 Limited, was set up to oversee the English women’s top-flight.

She has since been the public face of the organisation, playing a leading role in the change of branding from Premier 15s to the PWR, securing a broadcast deal with TNT Sports and the decision to truncate the current season to benefit England’s Women’s Rugby World Cup bid.

    ‘This Energy Never Stops’ – One year to go until the Women’s Rugby World Cup

    With exactly one year to go until Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025 kicks off
    in Sunderland, excitement is sweeping across the host nation in anticipation of what
    will be the biggest and most accessible celebration of women’s rugby ever.

    A PWR spokesperson confirmed no decision had been made on a replacement, saying that the board would need to consider “the best way forward”.

    “Belinda Moore has made the decision to move on from Premier Women’s Rugby Ltd (PWR) to focus on other opportunities and will be stepping down this month,” a PWR statement read.

    “From our brand to the Powered Differently campaign and the broadcast deal with TNT Sports she has achieved a huge amount during her time with PWR. We are very grateful to Belinda for all her hard work and wish her all the best in the future.

    “PWR has a fantastic team that will continue to drive the business forward and will be supported by the board through the leadership transition.

    “Our focus is now on the new season, supporting our clubs and athletes through an exciting new period of growth for PWR, and onto the Women’s Rugby World Cup being held in England in 2025.”

    The timing of the announcement is far from ideal, coming only three days after the new season kicked off.

    It is expected that current members of the PWR board will take on extra responsibilities in the wake of Moore’s resignation as a decision is made on her long-term successor.

    This is a complete shock and also sad news, one cannot underestimate what BM has done for domestic rugby, her determination to drive the best league in the world with the best deal she could get I thought was very ambitious.

    Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

    I Thought It Was All Gone! One minute, I struggled through the rush-hour chaos at Grand Central; the next, my phone was gone. A sly pickpocket had stolen it right out of my coat pocket. The panic set in immediately. That phone was my portal to everything, including access to my $315,000 Bitcoin fortune, set aside for my children's education. With my device lost, my two-factor authentication codes were out of reach, and the exchange did not have a backup recovery option. My mind raced: my children losing college educations, my careful financial planning ruined by seconds of distraction.I stumbled over onto a bench, cradling my briefcase in life-preserver mode. Catching my breath through tears, I was suddenly hit with sympathy from a strange,   kind old gentleman whose newspaper sported a circle of coffee spots—and who gave me a rough but hopeful-scribbled brochure. "Tech Cyber Force Recovery pulled my brother from a terror such as you just experienced. Call them up, son." Desperation got the better of doubt. I called in the afternoon. Their crew took to me immediately from the beginning. They sat and listened to the entire thing, every detail of how crowded the station had been to how fearful I was for my children's future. They assured me that all of this could be fixed. Their peaceful belief lifted me like a life preserver that floated me along.The process of recovery was as meticulous as open-heart surgery. They spoke directly to my exchange provider, coordinating time zones and levels of security. I received daily updates, always in plain human language. Even when nothing had yet changed, they would send me reassuring messages to inform me they were still fighting for me. After eight long days, the call came. My wallet was restored. Tech Cyber Force Recovery did more than recover my Bitcoin, they recovered my peace of mind and my family's future.FOR SERVICESTELEGRAM AT TECHCYBERFORCWhatsApp +15617263697
