The appointment of a Chief Operating Officer has been announced by Morecambe Football Club.
Steve Dewsnip has begun in the role this week, having most recently been Commercial Director at Stalybridge Celtic in the Northern Premier League.
He has also held prominent roles with non-league clubs covering all aspects of off-field activity, including as Chief Operating Officer at Southport in the National League North, with responsibility for commercial and operational activities.
As COO, he will be responsible for overseeing the club’s day-to-day operations and staff, working across all operational areas of the club to ensure progress on and off the pitch towards its long-term sustainability.
This will include commercial growth and partnerships, stadium operations and matchday delivery, as well as the overall supporter experience.
Steve Dewsnip said: “As a proud Lancastrian, I am honoured and excited to be joining Morecambe as its Chief Operating Officer.
‘’A football club’s on and off-field activities are each vitally important to the success and sustainability of the other."
"I am very much looking forward to working closely with the Board and ownership group, CEO Ropinder Singh, the staff, our commercial partners, supporters and local community to help support the club’s drive back to where it belongs on the football map.”
Morecambe FC Chairman Kuljit Singh Momi, said: “I am pleased to welcome Steve to the club and believe that his football experience, knowledge and proven track record will be an important addition to the club as we seek to strengthen our executive leadership team.”
Professionally, he retired from a 35-year career in banking and financial services, including 20 years with Rothschild in Manchester and the Channel Islands.
He was also the Co-Founder and Chairman for six years of Guernsey FC, leading the first project to bring English national league system football to an offshore island and securing two successive promotions to step four, as well as reaching the semi-finals of the FA Vase.
