Neil Hart Steps Into CEO Role

Neil Hart has started his role as Burnley Football Club’s new Chief Executive Officer.

Hart replaces Dave Baldwin, who has ended his six-year stay at Turf Moor ahead of taking up a similar post at the EFL in June.

Hart has moved across early from his position as CEO of Burnley FC in the Community in a planned transition at executive level.

“Since Christmas, Dave and I have been undertaking the handover process, which has been seamless,” said Hart.

“It’s certainly one of the most comprehensive hand-over processes I’ve been involved in and we have gone through great detail to ensure I am fully briefed on everything from the football side, to finances, to supporter engagement, to commercial opportunities, staff and facilities.
