Maarten van Os, the group finance director of the Marcus Evans Group, has been appointed to the Town board.
Van Os won't be at Town day-to-day with owner Marcus Evans recently having taken on a more hands-on role alongside general manager of football operations Lee O’Neill, managing director Ian Milne having departed earlier this year.
Dutch-born Van Os will have been with MEG for 20 years this coming July, initially as financial controller, then European finance director between 2005 and 2010 and group finance controller from March 2010 until April 2014 when he took on his current job.
Prior to joining MEG Van Os was with Mitsubishi having previously studied economics in Amsterdam.
Van Os joins financial director Mark Andrews on the club board with the Milne having left last month.
