Ken Kinnersley has been appointed non-executive Operations Director at Hereford FC. Previously he had been volunteer co-ordinator.
Chairman Jon Hale explained the appointment:
‘As I have explained, a number of repairs are required to the ground before we can achieve a safety certificate and allow members of the public into the stadium.
‘The transition period will need very close supervision and I am delighted to announce that Ken Kinnersley has accepted the Board’s offer to become non-executive Operations Director until September, when the position will be reviewed.
‘The role will continue to encompass the co-ordination of all the fantastic volunteers that we have had come forward, but will also see Ken oversee all of the electrical work and cosmetic work required around the ground until we reach conclusion. He will also liaise with the Herefordshire Council contractors who are doing their side of the work.
‘Ken has impressed us greatly in the short period of time he has been Volunteers Co-Ordinator and we believe he is a perfect and professional fit for this newly created, unpaid, role at the club.
‘He will ensure work is identified, delegated and completed on time which ultimately will ensure we have the ground ready for our pre-season programme.
‘It is another important cog in our forward progress and I am really pleased that Ken feels so strongly that he wants to take on this important role.’
