I am sorry to announce that John McGlashan has resigned as a member of the Bees United board and from the position of Chief Executive of the Trust.
An announcement on the Brentford FC website confirms that he has also stepped down as an executive director from the Club, leaving the board and his role as Projects Director. Bees United has nominated Joe Bourke as John's replacement on the Club board.
For over seven years John has played an historic role in the organisation, development and growing strength of Bees supporters as a force in shaping the future of Brentford FC.
He was hugely influential in establishing BIAS and then Bees United. As the first Chairman of Bees United and the first supporters' representative on the Club board he was instrumental in building a constructive relationship with the Club's owners and with Hounslow Council. The Club and the Trust would simply not be where it is today without John's efforts and he should be rightly proud of his contribution.
On behalf of the Board I express our sincere thanks for all of John's hard work and dedication.
We send John and his family our very best wishes.
Brian Burgess
Chairman
Bees United
