Norwich City are delighted to announce the appointment of Zoe Ward to the club’s board of directors.
Ward, who will now assume the title of executive director, joins joint majority shareholders Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones, as well as Tom Smith, Stephan Phillips and Michael Foulger on the club’s board.
Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones said: “The decision to elect Zoe to the board of Norwich City was unanimous.
“Her wide experience of football matters gained at Liverpool and Fulham has been indispensable to the club over the past four years, not least in representing Norwich at the Premier League.
“We are delighted she is joining the board and we look forward, with her help, to taking the club to new heights.”
Ward said: “I’d like to thank Michael, Delia and the rest of the directors for their ongoing trust and support during my time with the club. I’m now excited to be joining them on the board.
“I’m passionate about the strategic growth and development of the club and look forward to taking this on further as the club’s executive director.”
The club have also moved to expand the existing executive committee.
Assistant sporting director Neil Adams, finance director Anthony Richens, commercial director Sam Jeffery and legal and governance director Sam Hall have been appointed to the executive committee.
The quartet join the existing members of the club’s executive committee, Ward and sporting director Stuart Webber.
Speaking of the new additions to the committee, Ward added: “In order to continue to support the club’s development, we now feel it’s the right time to expand the club’s executive committee. This will better reflect the day-to-day management of the club.
“Anthony, Neil, Sam and Sam will continue to work closely with Stuart and myself as we look to achieve further growth and success across all areas of the club.”
