Edwards Joins Board of Directors

Leamington FC are pleased to announce that Mark Edwards has joined the Board of Directors following an eleven year association with the club since he first started watching his son Jack playing in Brakes colours.

Mark is vastly experienced in the financial and commercial sector having worked for Lloyds Bank PLC for 41 years, last holding the position of Commercial Business Development Director for the Midlands. Since then he has worked  seven years as a commercial consultant and retains a significant list of contacts in those fields.

Mark played semi-professionally locally for Redditch United, Nuneaton Borough and Coventry Sporting before a serious knee injury brought his football career to a halt aged 25 years.  He subsequently had an eight year spell managing Stratford Towns Youth team.

He is an avid Coventry City supporter whose hobbies include fly fishing, clay shooting and, of course, watching son Jack playing.

Mark stated, ‘I am excited to join the Board of Directors and am committed to playing a big part in the club’s progress towards continued success and the new stadium development’.

Chairman Jim Scott added, ‘Mark will perform the role of Business Development Director.  We had been looking for some time for an individual who had strong business connections in the region to aid our commercial development allied to a drive and determination to support the clubs continued development and we are delighted to have Mark on board.’
