EHAB Allam believes Hull City's newly-appointed managing director Nick Thompson will bring a wealth of commercial experience to the club.
As reported, Thompson, the former Director of Consumer Services at Hull-based telecommunications company KC, was yesterday unveiled in his new role.
With an Executive MBA and Chartered Manager MCMI qualifications to his name, vice chairman Ehab Allam believes his business acumen will make him a great appointment.
"Nick brings a wealth of business management experience and qualifications," he said.
"He joins us at a time when we are riding high in the Championship play-off places and making a determined push for promotion.
"This is the right time to step up our commercial activities and build a sound platform for our business future."
Thompson, who is well known in Hull business circles, has been a member of Hull & East Yorkshire Bondholders Advisory Group as well as the Hull & Humber Business Week.
He said: "It is a privilege to become part of the Tigers and to be able to contribute to the ongoing commercial success of this great football club.
"We have a brilliant chance to make a serious promotion challenge over the rest of this season, and my job is to ensure our off the field activities equal the quality of what we are achieving on the pitch.
"I want to get the whole city and region behind us and I am enormously looking forward to working with the whole team, sponsors and fans to create great match day experiences."
