We are thrilled to announce that Sean Allen has officially become the new Chief Executive Officer of Bristol Manor Farm FC and has acquired the majority shareholding of the club.
In a short space of time, Allen’s journey at The Farm has been nothing short of extraordinary, starting as the front-of-shirt sponsor with Hawk Group Services Ltd, then moving to vice-chairman, and now stepping into the pivotal role of CEO.
Allen joins the existing leadership team, working closely with long-standing directors Lee Lashenko and Gill Callaghan, who continue to go above and beyond for The Farm. Additionally, Allen will continue to work closely with Chairman Tony Parsons and the rest of the club’s management structure. His passion and vision for the club’s future are clear, as is his unwavering determination to take the Farm to new heights.
From Sean Allen, Chief Executive Officer: “Becoming CEO of Bristol Manor Farm is an absolute honour, and I am incredibly proud to be part of such a special club. My journey with The Farm has been amazing so far, and I am excited about what we can achieve together. This is a club with a fantastic history and even greater potential. My focus now is to build on the work already done and to push for even greater success, both on and off the field.”
