We are delighted to announce that Derek Chapman and Marc Sugarman have taken up their roles as honorary vice-presidents of the club.

Chairman Tony Bloom said, “Derek and Marc left our club’s board at the end of June after a combined 40 years of excellent service, but they will still be regular and welcome visitors to the Amex to support the team.

“On behalf of everyone at the club I would like to thank them for their incredible commitment to the club. They have contributed so much to our recent progress and we are all very grateful to them.”

Derek Chapman

Derek attended his first Albion game in 1968 and joined the board in 1999. He played a key role in the building of the Amex and the training facilities at Lancing.

Marc stepped down after 15 years as a director, having been invited onto the board in 2009 by chairman Tony Bloom because of his expertise in sports rights and the value of sports marketing.

Derek and Marc join Martin Perry, who became an honorary vice president in September 2020 after 24 years of service as chief executive and a board director.
