Wrexham Appoint Fleur Robinson As CEO

Wrexham AFC has announced the appointment of Fleur Robinson who will become Chief Executive Officer effective of 1st June 2021.

 

 

Fleur, who is currently Commercial Director at Burton Albion FC, will continue to work her notice before joining the Welsh club owned by Hollywood actors Rob McElhenney & Ryan Reynolds.

 

Speaking of her appointment, Fleur said: “I’m delighted to accept this fantastic position and I’m excited about joining one of the oldest professional football clubs in the world, which has both a proud history and a positive future.

 

“There are not many jobs that would have pulled me away from Burton Albion, a club I have helped develop from the second tier of non-league to two seasons in the Championship, but the prospect of joining Wrexham at the start of what I believe is about to be an incredible new era for the club was too exciting to pass up.”

 

Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney, commented: “Fleur will be a great leader for Wrexham. Her commitment to placing the club at the centre of the community and experience in doing so was exceptionally attractive when you consider the importance we place on that area in our Mission Statement.”

 

Co-owner Ryan Reynold, added: “Fleur’s enthusiasm just shone through and having successfully navigated the journey to the EFL from the National League, she was able to offer us something different but exceptionally relevant.”

 

The process was led by a team of counsellors and the extensive search was undertaken against a specific brief which included the significance of the club’s role in the community and experience taking a club from non-league into the EFL.

 

Humphrey Ker, the club’s executive director, said: “I was blown away by the quality of all the individuals I spoke with about the role and their passion for the opportunity.

 

“We cast a wide net and the excitement we found for what we are seeking to build at Wrexham AFC was inspiring. I can’t wait to work with Fleur on the next chapter of the Wrexham AFC story.”
