THE TRUST BOARD

Nick has supported the Club since 1969 when, after watching the Grecians lose 2-1 to Port Vale (September 27, 1969), just a few days later attended a midweek game against Swansea City (October 1, 1969), which resulted in a 6-0 win.

After 40 years working in the newspaper industry, mostly in technology, he retired and, looking for something to fill the time, he became Trust secretary in 2012, a position that he held for four years. After a brief hiatus in 2016, Nick returned as a co-opted trustee in 2017 and was elected by the membership in 2017, and then as chairman to the Trust that November.

​

Identified as one of the future leaders in the sports industry by Kick It Out, Julen has been a member of the Trust Board since 2021, was appointed to the Club Board in 2023 and is currently Head of Communications at the Devon Cricket Foundation.

Julen is the Interim Communication & Engagement Working Group Lead.

Steven is the Community Working Group Lead.

A lifelong (54+ years) City supporter, I am passionate about our football club. I am also passionate about the model of how the club is run.

I was immensely pleased to be voted onto the Trust Board at the first attempt and subsequently elected as Vice Chair following the last AGM.

I am a member of the Trust Finance Group which oversees both the Trust & the Clubs finances.

I believe that as a Trust we have to manage the Trust income from our loyal Trust members to ensure that it is invested for the future of the Trust and Club. The Trust also must represent the fans who support and invest in this wonderful club. It's them after all we do this for!

Nick is the Finance & Governance Working Group Lead.

He spent over 20 years in the hotel and catering industry in general manager roles and more recently has owned several online businesses. Once he settled in Devon in 2008 it was the Trust ownership model that ignited his interest in Exeter City. Clive moved to Clyst St Mary in 2013, purchased his first season ticket and joined the Trust.

Clive is a member of the Ownership and Membership, and Communications and Engagement Working Groups.
