The Board are delighted to formally announce further details of the newly initiated consortium of investment, and the restructuring of the Board ahead of the new season.

‘The STFC Friends Consortium’ is made up of the following founding investors – Marc Wheatly, Carl and Jason Sedlan, Reg Baker, Rex Oliver, Alex Kasperczyk and Dean Williams. The consortium will invest funds ahead of this season and next, helping to provide security for the club, and enabling our vision alongside the blueprint.

The Board has been restructured with immediate effect. Chair Dean Williams and existing Directors Jamie Shaw and Brian Rowland, will be joined by Rex Oliver, Alex Kasperczyk, Marc Wheatly, and Joshua Donner (from sponsors Castle Print). The leadership team will be complimented by Roz Williams, who has been appointed Head of Operations. The Board is further strengthened by the existing committee and a handful of newly created roles which will be announced over the coming days.

In what is a hugely exciting time for the club, the Board are also delighted to announce a continuation of partnership with Longwater and Castle Print, both for the next two seasons. In an addition to their existing sponsorship, Longwater have gained stadium naming rights. Home games will now be played at The Longwater Stadium at Eslaforde Park.

Chair Dean Williams - ‘A lot has happened over the last four weeks. I am extremely confident that we have created a structure that not only helps safeguard our future, but also set us up for success. We are very ambitious at this football club – we want to create history for Sleaford. The consortium, Board and sponsors have bought into the vision and I thank them – they want to be part of something special. Local people and organisations with green blood in them! We want to make Sleafordians proud.’

The Board.
