Ron Fowler has taken over the role of chair of Lincoln City Holdings and Lincoln City Football Club, as part of Liquid Investments, Inc.’s increased investment into the club. Following this round of investment, their shareholding has now exceeded 25%.
As part of this, Clive Nates has taken up a new role as co-vice chairman alongside Jay Wright, 10 years to the day since Clive joined the board of directors.
Clive was elected chairman in June 2018 and oversaw City’s Sky Bet League Two title win in his first campaign. Following that success, the Imps are now into their seventh successive season at League One level.
Everyone at City extends their sincere and heartfelt thanks to Clive for his stewardship as chairman and looks forward to continuing to work with him and Ron to further grow the club.
