From The Archives - Board Appointments On The Cards

Given Hereford FC's board are currently a couple of directors under strength, for this morning's archive article BN looks back to June 10th 2003.


Board appointments on the cards

New additions to Hereford United's board of directors are expected to be announced soon.

Since the end of the season, two directors have resigned from the club, leaving just Hugh Brooks, Grenville Smith MBE and Aidan McGivern alongside company secretary Joan Fennessy and chairman Graham Turner in the boardroom.

George Hyde resigned after winning a seat at the recent Herefordshire Council elections, where he headed the Independents. He has since formed an alliance with the Conservatives, and is deputy leader, so resigned as a conflict of interest could potentially occur over the Edgar Street redevelopment. He has sold his shares in the club.

Ron Jukes also stepped-down as he moved to Telford United as chief scout and a director. He has retained his shares in Hereford United, though, as he does not wish to cut off all ties with the club.

Generally, since becoming chairman of the club, Graham Turner has chosen to appoint those close to the club or with local interests, as well as the financial acumen to help the club through troubled times.
