New Burnley FC In The Community Director

Post by WiscoClaret » Tue Jun 15, 2021 1:00 pm

I apologize if this has been mentioned already but it appears that: Ben Bottomley Has been appointed as the new Burnley FC In The Community director.

https://www.insidermedia.com/news/north ... burnley-fc


“ The community arm of Burnley FC has made a senior hire.

Ben Bottomley has been appointed to head the organisation's partnership operation, working with businesses to fund its work in and around the town.

He joins after spending six years as director of commercial and business development at FC Halifax Town.

"The connection between Burnley FC and the community is a really positive one and you can clearly see the difference the charity's work makes, from the various community projects it organises, through to the wide range of facilities available for local people," said Bottomley.

"I wanted to be a part of that and to help businesses to get involved."

Burnley FC in the Community employs 150 staff and in 2020 reinvested £3.5m in the area.”

Is this a good appointment? I do not know much about it.

Not sure he’s a director. He’s coming in to work on partnerships and will probably report directly to Sara Ward.
