I’ve actually been in the game for over 18 years – I was in the commercial teams of both Watford and Crystal Palace in the Premier League, and have been a CEO and Vice Chair for two Non-League teams.
In the 90’s I was a football reporter for BBC Radio London, and reported on Premier League games and incidents pre-match, during the game, half-time and post-match, and found the relevant manager for japan rcs data the studio host to interviews post-match. I used to get time off from my boss at the time to do it, so long as I made up the time after.
What do you like doing in your spare time?
Surprise, surprise! – I’m Vice Chair of Non-League Whitehawk Football Club Well, my official title (as a volunteer) is, ahem, Vice Chair, Head of Commercial, Marketing and PR, Matchday PA, Matchday DJ and Occasional Barman. It’s a step 4 club which on a good day can get over 600 people. We have all the same issues that our clients have – lack of volunteers, sourcing revenue, finding coaches, etc. which is why I can relate to so many clubs around the country. We do it because we love it .
I love music, cooking, the odd glass of red, and travel . If I can get away with my family for a weekend, take in a gig, cook some local food, drink some local wine and watch a game that’s perfection for me.
