Hibs chairman Ron Gordon says he’s “delighted” to welcome four new non-executive directors onto the club’s board as he continues to shape his long-term vision for the Easter Road side.

Joining are financial expert Kathrin Hamilton, lawyer and HR specialist Gillian Hutchinson, new media entrepreneur Jemma Goba and former Queen’s Park and Edinburgh Rugby chief executive David Davies.

The four will join the board beginning with the first meeting in January. Outgoing chief executive Leeann Dempster remains at the club but is expected to leave in the New Year having handed in her resignation in November.

Gordon told the Hibs website: “I am delighted that after hearing our strategic vision for the club all four readily agreed to join the Board of Hibernian. They are as excited about the great potential at our club as I am, and their energy, commitment and expertise will be important in helping us make our vision for the club a reality.

“I wanted to expand the Board to make it more representative of the club and its community. We now have a board that is increasingly diverse and that represents more sectors of business life in the city.

“All the new directors will add to the wealth of experience and skill already on the Board, and I am delighted at the team of directors we have in place to support our executive leadership in making Hibernian a club our supporters can be truly proud of. I want to thank them in advance for their commitment and service to our club and community.”
