Hibs have appointed long-standing club associate Jim Brydon as a non-executive director at Easter Road.
Owner of JB Contracts (Scotland) Limited, he has supported the club on a number of key projects, including the redevelopment of the Hibernian Training Centre, the renovation of Easter Road Stadium and various other facilities management and development projects over the years.
He was one of the early members involved in establishing Club 86 and has continued to contribute to and support the revamped Hibs Kids initiative over the years. He has also contributed funds to support the Hibernian Community Foundation’s charitable work across Leith and the surrounding areas of Edinburgh.
Hibs chairman Ian Gordon said: “I am delighted to be able to bring Jim onto the board. He has a brilliant knowledge and understanding of the club, and he knows what Hibs means to our supporters and the community.
“He is an incredibly loyal and trustworthy individual and is already intertwined with everyone at the club, so it was an easy decision to invite him onto the Board. He will bring with him a vast range of local knowledge, experience and expertise.”
Mr Brydon, the younger brother of former Hearts owner Ann Budge, said: “Everyone who knows me knows that Hibs is an incredibly special club for me, so when Ian approached me, I was honoured to accept the invitation.
“I will do my best to contribute ideas and offer my experience, opinion and guidance where required.”
The Easter Road board now comprises: Ian Gordon, executive chairman; Dan Barnett, CEO; Kathrin Hamilton, non-executive director; Malcolm McPherson, non-executive director; Leslie Robb, non-executive director; Colin Gordon, non-executive director; Jim Brydon, non-executive director.
