Wrexham announce new CEO
Fleur Robinson
is to leave her role as commercial director at Burton Albion to become
Wrexham's new chief executive officer.
Robinson will start
her new job with Wrexham on 1st June and work under Hollywood actors
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who completed their takeover of the Vanarama
National League side last month.
"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," Robinson told the official club website.
"There are not
many jobs that would have pulled me away from Burton, 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
McElhenney added: "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."
Reynolds said:
"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."
Burton has been
Robinson's home for the last two decades and she was a key figure in their
journey from non-League all the way up to the Sky Bet Championship before they
were relegated to League One in 2018.
