TWTD understands that current board members Jonathan Symonds and Ian Milne are set to be named joint-managing directors of Town, in the wake of chief executive Simon Clegg’s departure. The Blues announced Clegg’s exit by mutual consent earlier today with members of the current board and owner Marcus Evans taking on a more hands-on role at Portman Road.
Both Symonds and Milne became directors of Town after Evans’s takeover at the end of 2007.
Symonds, 42, has been the chief information officer of the Marcus Evans Group since 1996 and is responsible for the strategy and the delivery of IT solutions for the Marcus Evans Group.
He has a degree in Business Information Systems and was previously in management roles with Apple Computers, Bacon and Woodrow and Global Communications.
Milne is a 60-year-old qualified solicitor, who joined the Marcus Evans Group in 2000, having previously been with drinks giant Diageo and Revlon International.
