Clive Richards OBE has decided to step down as chairman of the Edgar Street Grid (ESG).
The new chairman is Ted Willmott CB OBE (pictured). He has been a board member since 2006.
Willmott retired from a distinguished army career in 1990 and then became chief executive of the Construction Industry Training Board. More recently he was chair of Herefordshire NHS.
Jonathan Bretherton, chief executive of ESG Herefordshire Ltd said "I have been privileged to work with Clive as my chairman. His immense energy and business acumen have driven us along and the county is fortunate to have his support in so many ways. Ted equally brings a terrific range of skills and experience which will be invaluable as we move towards building the infrastructure around which Hereford will grow".
Hereford United's Edgar Street ground was specifically included in the Masterplan proposals for the ESG.
