Trust Membership Secretary
Ryan Ilott
Trust Finance Officer & Club Director
Steve Chudleigh
Steve became the Trust's Finance Officer in August 2015, a role which covers many areas such as the day-to-day management of the Trust's financial affairs and liaising with the Trust's Membership Secretary, Club employees and local and national suppliers.
​
The role also takes responsibility for the preparation of the Trust's annual accounts and compliance with a number of statutory obligations, such as the annual FCA return.
​
As part of his role, he also leads the Trust Finance Working Group and the Club's Finance and Governance Committee, and is a Trust-appointed Director on the Club Board.
​
On a personal level, he has worked in corporate financial services for over 20 years and has been following City for even longer, having first been taken along by his father at an early age.
Trust Board Minute Taker
Pete Cordwell
Pete stood on the half-way line in the Cowshed with his 8-year-old son balanced on a stool alongside him. The son is now nearly 40 and supporting City from the other side of the world in Sidney.
​
Pete thought he'd better put to use some of the skills he'd learnt in his career as an English teacher, so he now writes the minutes of the Trust Board meetings.
