Qualifications or experience relevant
to Board membership:
My background is in Accountancy,
Finance, Taxation 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 founder member of the Official Wycombe Wanderers Supporters
Association, serving as the Secretary and also as Treasurer to
the Association for many years.
I am a member of the Founders Trust.
I am a member of the Supporters Trust Board of Directors and also
serve as Company Secretary of the Trust.
I sponsor a player and support the Club via the League Line.
Because one of the objects of the Trust is to relate to the community
it serves, I represent the Football Club on Travel Plan meetings,
the Safety Advisory Group and have been working with the nominated
Football Club charity of the year the Iain Rennie Hospice at Home
Charity.
I was privileged to be asked to be the first Director of Wycombe
Wanderers Football Club nominated by the Supporters Trust and
have been a member of the Football Club Board for some two and
a half years.
Describe in not more than 500 words,
your reasons for wishing to become a member of the board of Wycombe
Wanderers Football Club PLC and why members should vote for you.
No one can doubt that the Football
Club is entering a period when difficult decisions will have to
be taken. These will involve the future financing of the Club
and any decision on moving away from Adams Park to a new stadium.
Any of these decisions must taken so that they safeguard the future
of Wycombe Wanderers.
It is vital that when the Football Club Board take any decision
it is in possession of all the facts, and these facts include
relevant supporters' views and the effect that any decision taken
will have on the supporters.
I believe passionately that the Football Club cannot survive without
its supporters who they need to involve in decision making and
strategic planning, and it will be essential that in planning
for the future especially now, that they communicate with and
carry them along.
It has been my task as the Supporters Trust Director to ensure
that this happens. My background and experience with the Supporters
Trust and Official Supporters Association have placed me in a
unique position to do this. I am committed to continue to represent
the supporters' wishes at Board level to ensure that everyone
works in partnership for the future of Wycombe Wanderers.
Communication is a two way process, again by having a 'foot in
both camps' I have been able to assist in this, so that explanations
and information can be communicated to the Supporters Trust Board
justifying the long term benefits to the Football Club of any
decision, keeping them up to date with latest developments, in
between our own Board meetings, I issue a briefing paper with
latest news and developments at the club as they affect supporters.
I keep in contact with supporters regularly, because although
a Board of Directors takes strategic decisions it does not mean
that the day to day problems are not important and these need
immediate attention. I do this before games by spending time in
the various suites and bars, this is important as is the contact
with the two supporters clubs. To away matches on occasions I
travel on the away coaches, indeed twice I stewarded the coach
to help the supporters.
My credibility as a supporter of the Club cannot be in doubt,
attending all competitive first team matches at home and only
missing one away, supporting the reserve and youth teams. I am
already involved with these and other matters and I would like
to continue to be a part of this, building upon the foundations
I have established, and continuing to work for the future of the
Football Club and its supporters.
Supporting the Football Club has given me great pleasure in the
past, my Directorship has enabled me to contribute and repay the
Club for this.
There are challenges ahead, the most important one is to ensure
that the future of Wycombe Wanderers is secure. I am already involved
with facing this, and I ask for your vote to enable me to continue
with it.
