Chief Executive - Paul Fletcher MBE

Mr Fletcher, who was a popular figure as a Clarets player at Turf Moor throughout the 1970's, originally rejoined the club in December 2007 following the announcement of a £30m redevelopment of Turf Moor and Gawthorpe. The joint role as Chief Executive will now see him focus on commercial activities, including Conference & Banqueting, retail, the ticket office, marketing and matchday/stewarding departments.

At the age of 16 Paul joined his home town Club Bolton Wanderers. Three years later he became one of the country's most expensive transfers when he joined Burnley for a then club record fee. He played at Turf Moor for 10 years and scored the Clarets 'goal of the decade' at Elland road in a famous 4-1 Burnley victory, but a serious leg injury forced early retirement in 1981 at the age of 32. In 1996 he then returned to his old club Bolton as Chief Executive and after two years at the Reebok, he was invited by the FA to become Commercial Director of the new £500 million Wembley National Stadium. After eighteen months he took up the position as Chief Executive at the £64 million Ricoh Arena in Coventry, later joining the Board of Coventry City Football Club as Managing Director.  In the 2007 New Year's Honours list, Paul was awarded the MBE for services to Football.
