‘Loons’ boost Commercial Team
[Wednesday, 16 October 2019 13:22]
Forfar Athletic are delighted to announce the appointment in a role as Commercial Director of Dundee based businessman Steve Martin.
Apart from being well known in the business community in the area, Steve who is Managing Director of RM Bearings in the city, has first-hand knowledge of the Scottish football scene having been a Director of Dundee FC for many years.
Steve’s initial remit at Station Park will be to encourage and foster more commercial involvement and support within the Tayside business community and to instigate and progress new and innovative fundraising ventures.
In that regard, Steve will be working alongside Keith Haggart a former Commercial Manager at both Tannadice and Dens Park who is joining the club in a part-time capacity as a Commercial Executive.
Keith will also bring a wealth of experience in this regard to the club and will no doubt also be able to also assist and give advice to the current Directors of the club in regard to the many successful events they already run alongside the current sponsorship and hospitality packages which have proved so popular over the years within the Station Park community and beyond.
Chairman Ross Graham added. ‘In our continual drive to improve all aspects of the club, we felt the time was right to look at fresh ideas and activities to improve the commercial side of Forfar Athletic. I have known Keith Haggart for years due to his previous roles at Tannadice Park and Dens Park and was introduced to Steve Martin in the summer via a mutual business connection.
I was very impressed with their ideas, passion, enthusiasm and business connections and felt they would be a tremendous fit for our club as we try to achieve our goals on and off the park in the coming years.
