KEITH BLAGBROUGH

Qualifications or experience relevant to Board membership:
My background is in Finance and mainly Information Technology, with many years experience providing business solutions and managing computer service departments in the Construction and Manufacturing industries and latterly in a Senior Management role at the BBC controlling a department of 64 IT professionals.
I am a member of the Official Wycombe Wanderers Supporters Association, The Founders Trust and, of course, The Supporters Trust.
I am also company Secretary to the Supporters Trust.
I have been honoured to serve as the first Director of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club PLC appointed by the Supporters Trust.

Reason for wishing to stand for election to Board membership:
I was one of the original few who believed that a Trust would be an advantage to Wycombe Wanderers and worked to this objective. As part of the team who piloted the Trust through its launch and creation, even though we have achieved one of the primary objectives in having a Director on the Board of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club, I am aware that the task is only half done. The Trust needs to raise funds to repay the loan taken out to pay for the first instalment needed to secure the shares, and also to reach out to the community that it serves.
I would like to continue to be a part of this and wish to help build upon the base already established and to finish the job already started.

Describe what you can bring to running the Supporters Trust and why the members should vote for you:
I am a passionate Supporter of Wycombe Wanderers having followed them at home and away for many years. I was also one of the supporters who created and helped to run the Official Wycombe Wanderers Supporters Association for many years.
I believe equally passionately that the Football Club cannot survive without its supporters, whom they need to involve in their decision and strategic planning, and will continue to strive for these views to be placed before them through the Trust mechanism.
My background and experience has so far enabled me to take a major part in the workings of the Trust so far, I have been honoured to serve the Trust and I wish to continue to do so.
