Nenadich set to join Board

It appears that the Hereford United board could have a new member in the New Year. Conservative councillor Nick Nenadich, pictured, is close to chairman David Keyte and his name was mentioned during the recent Annual General Meeting. Currently the board has only three members, Keyte, Tim Russon and Grenville Smith.

Nenadich is currently chairman of the Hereford United vice-presidents club. It has also been suggested that he is one of the four people who have put up around £80,000 each to refurbish the Starlight Rooms.

To become a director Nenadich would need to purchase 400 shares in the club. Recently some shares have come on the market but, as yet, it's not known who might have bought them.

Here's some information about Nenadich as published on the Herefordshire Council website.

Nenadich is regarded as one of the weathiest men in Hereford. When he divorced in 2004, the Hereford Times reported that his share of his children's home business, Clifford House, was estimated to be worth £3 million and that was on top of other interests.

Last September Clifford House was sold to Advanced Childcare for £10 million with the exception of the existing fostering division which will continue to operate as an independent business with Nenadich reportedly continuing as an owner/director.
