We are very pleased to announce two appointments of staff on a full-time permanent basis.
Casey Lynchey will take up the role of Head of Operations immediately. Casey stepped into this role on an interim basis in November 2024, combining it with her existing role of Community Development Officer.
Casey has introduced some excellent initiatives whilst in the role on an interim basis and has been instrumental in community engagement and ensuring the smooth running of events on and off the pitch.
Casey’s energy, enthusiasm and dedication makes her an excellent fit for the club moving forward and we are delighted to be retaining her as a permanent member of staff.
Her role will continue to incorporate an element of community development although additional resource will be recruited to this area in due course.
Chris Watts will take up the role of Commercial Manager in mid-April. Chris is already well known as the club’s matchday analyst working with Dave McNabb and the coaching staff and he proved to be the outstanding candidate for the Commercial Manager position following a thorough recruitment process, particularly impressing at the interview stage.
Chris will be fundamental to generating revenue through advertising and sponsorship by attracting new business through the club’s Partner Programme and engaging with existing stakeholders.
Chris will also provide an element of the additional resource required on the community development aspect.
We are delighted to welcome Chris as a permanent member of staff and look forward to working with him.
