Former Soil Association business development director and Ecotricity brand ambassador Helen Taylor has been appointed as chief executive at Forest Green Rovers – named by world governing body FIFA as “football’s greenest club”.
Taylor becomes one of the first women CEOs in football, alongside leaders including Karen Brady at West Ham.
Commenting on her new role, she said: “This is a fantastic opportunity – I’ve been a passionate believer in the green, sustainable agenda at both Ecotricity and Forest Green Rovers and now I’m responsible for leading a fantastic team of people into our first ever season in the Football League. We’re really looking forward to becoming a greater part of the local community, welcoming people from Gloucestershire and beyond to experience a game at the club.”
