TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR PLC
SIR KEITH MILLS APPOINTED TO BOARD AS NON-EXEC DIRECTOR
Tottenham Hotspur Plc has today announced the appointment of Sir Keith Mills as
a non- executive director.
In September 2003 Sir Keith was appointed International President and CEO of
London 2012 and led the team which delivered the successful bid for the 2012
Olympic and Paralympic Games. Having now established the London 2012
organisation which will plan and organise the Games (LOCOG), Sir Keith, as non
executive Deputy Chairman, will continue to work alongside Lord Coe, and CEO
Paul Deighton to deliver the Games.
Sir Keith, 56, has extensive experience in advertising and marketing and is
currently also Chairman of the Loyalty Management Group, which owns and manages
the Nectar programme and licences Air Miles internationally. Sir Keith was the
original founder of the Air Miles programme and launched it in a joint venture
with BA in 1988 in the UK and subsequently has extended the concept to North
America and other European markets.
Daniel Levy, Chairman, Tottenham Hotspur plc, commented on the appointment, 'Sir
Keith is a significant addition to the Board. We welcome his breadth and depth
of knowledge of international marketing and branding. We have long admired his
achievements and always felt he would be an excellent appointment, but whilst
the Club was actively considering the Olympic stadium option we felt it was
inappropriate for us to formally approach Sir Keith for this role. In light of
the requirement for the Olympic stadium to retain a permanent athletics track,
we are no longer considering this as an option and consequently we were
delighted when Sir Keith accepted our invitation to join the Board.'
Commenting on his appointment Sir Keith said, 'I have followed the fortunes of
Tottenham Hotspur for many years; it's clear that the Club has huge potential.
I look forward to bringing my knowledge of sport and business to help the Club
grow both domestically and internationally.'
Sir Keith is a keen sailor and in 1999 was one of the winning crew in the
Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. Earlier this year Sir Keith was voted Sports
Industry Personality of the Year.
Save as disclosed above there are no other matters to be disclosed under
paragraph (g) of Schedule 2 of the AIM Rules.
