Two New Directors - Ipswich Town News

The additional board members who will be proposed at this year's AGM are finance director Anna Hughes and sales and marketing director Andrew Goulborn. Chief executive Derek Bowden revealed at his recent meeting with members of Ipswich Town Ist that the board will be proposing two new directors at this autumn's AGM.

Hughes joined the club in January after working as an independent consultant to the British Museum and as a chartered accountant with KPMG.

Goulborn, a lifelong Town supporter, began his employment at Portman Road in July 2004 having previously worked for Rise Communications, a company he helped found in 2003.

Prior to that, like Derek Bowden, he was an executive at Saatchi and Saatchi, and also had time with MediaCom and BMP.
