FC United appoint new Chief Executive Officer

FC United appoint new Chief Executive OfficerThe board of FC United of Manchester is pleased to announce the appointment of Damian Chadwick as the club’s new Chief Executive Officer.

The board of FC United of Manchester is pleased to announce the appointment of Damian Chadwick as the club’s new Chief Executive Officer. A founder member of FC United, Damian is currently the Venue Controller at the Macron Stadium, the home of Bolton Wanderers.

Damian has worked at Bolton as a senior manager for nine and a half years and in his current role since 2013 has been responsible for managing the year round operation of the stadium and the adjacent Bolton Arena.

The vacancy attracted considerable interest, reflecting the club’s wide appeal. Board member, Peter Thwaites said of Damian "He exactly fits the profile of the type of person that the board were looking for; he has considerable commercial, financial and facilities management experience, strong leadership qualities and, to top it all, a strong Manchester United and FC United pedigree".

Indeed it is quite a coup for the club for someone of this calibre from within its own ranks to step up into the Chief Executive role. A reminder, once again, that our very own members are our greatest asset.

The FA Vase clash with Quorn in December 2006 when nine red shirted heroes very nearly pulled off a famous victory remains his favourite FC United match to this day. "Perhaps for the first time, we really began to understand what it felt to be FC that day" he says.

Damian will take up his post on the 7th of November following an agreed notice period at Bolton. The Club Board of FC United of Manchester would like to place on record their thanks to Bolton Wanderers for their co-operation.
