Stalybridge Celtic can announce the appointments of Shaun Bishop and Taran Dhamrait to newly created roles at the club as part of a restructuring process that will include the introduction of a new executive committee.

The newly formed executive committee will support a slimmed down formal board of directors with the running of the football club with each committee member assigned an area of focus to lead and progress.

Shaun will join the executive committee and be responsible for matchday experience and will look to help develop a first class matchday experience for supporters as well as providing a key link between the club and Supporters Association, where he is their chairman.

Shaun also operates the popular Celtic Bier Hut situated inside Bower Fold and runs the fantastic Ol’s Bier & More in Stalybridge. He is a key figure within the Celtic community and will bring a wealth of skills to the club.

Taran will step up from his current role to join the executive committee with responsibility for media and communications at the club, seeking to promote the club in a professional and attractive way.

Taran first joined the club in May 2019 as the clubs media officer and has helped to lead a progressive and creative media team with the clubs media and communications output growing each year.

Nigel Jones commented: “Bringing Shaun onboard is a key appointment for the club and one I am delighted we are taking. It’s an important first step in helping us to achieve our aim of working closely with our supporters and developing their experiences as supporters of our club. I’m really pleased Shaun has accepted our offer to join our new committee structure and look forward to working with him going forward.

“I’ve been genuinely impressed by Taran’s professionalism, work ethic and skills since we arrived at the club. I look forward to tapping into his energy and vibrancy as we take the club on to its new phase, in which more modern communications and an increasing use of technology will form a key part going forward.”

The new club structure will be shared in due course. The club will be creating further roles in addition to the new executive committee, details will follow once the club’s new structure is finalised.
