Harborough Town strengthen community vision with Craig Tindle appointment
Craig Tindle is the new general manager of the Harborough Town Community Trust, the Bees have announced.
Harborough were keen to strengthen their community impact, and this appointment goes a long way to achieving that long-term vision.
Boasting 15 years of experience in the operational management of sports facilities, Tindle was a standout option.
There were over 80 applications but Tindle was chosen for his strong track record of delivering positive outcomes for clubs, communities and participants.
In the role, Tindle will lead key areas of the Trust’s operations, supporting the continued growth of grassroots football, community engagement and facility development at the Beehive.
Bees board member and vice-chair of trustees at Harborough Town Community Trust, Paul Mullins, said: “Craig was the outstanding candidate in our opinion, with around 15 years of experience as well as being a strong cultural fit for the club.
“As one of the largest grassroots football clubs in the country, Craig’s appointment is an exciting next step in our journey.
“We already have a brilliant management structure in place for our first team, led by Mitch Austin, and Craig’s appointment is an active effort to develop the parts of our club that are linked with our grassroots football, work in the community and ensuring we maximise and sustain our facilities.”
Following Harborough’s historic promotion to the National League North, there couldn’t be a better time to be working with the Bees.
Tindle commented: “I am incredibly excited and honoured to join this football club at such an important time in its journey.
“From the moment I arrived, I could feel the passion, pride and sense of belonging that make this club so special.
“My focus is on building sustainable growth both on and off the pitch, while strengthening the connection between the club and the community that supports it.
“Together with our players, staff, supporters and local partners, we will work to create a positive environment where everyone feels part of the club’s future.
“I look forward to helping drive progress, creating new opportunities and ensuring the club continues to thrive for years to come.”
