In 2021 Nigel Wedgwood Ex Grantham Town Chairman joins the club with his close colleague also from Grantham Town Dean Williams.
Both recognize the fantastic potential of the club and immediately provide a positive three year blueprint for the club to follow.
Both are experienced business men and understand the importance of creating a sustainable club for the future whilst continuing to constantly progress as a club. Engaging with Sleaford as a town and helping its community is a must and to hopefully receive backing from local business sponsors and investors.
Hopefully it really is exciting times for the club going forward after struggling for several years and especially through Covid 20/21.
