Inverness Caledonian Thistle confirm appointment of interim chairman
Inverness Caledonian Thistle have confirmed that they have appointed an interim chairman.
The board of directors have appointed Panos Thomas as their interim chairman as they focus on completing a deal to welcome a new majority shareholder to the club.
It has also been confirmed that Scott Young has been appointed as vice-chairman.
Thomas is a retired orthopaedic surgeon and tutor specialising in sports and knee injuries, who joined the board as a director in December 2022.
Thomas moved to the Highlands in 2012 when he became a season ticket holder and recently moved from Nairn to reside in Inverness.
The club statement says Thomas is in regular contact with Ketan Makwana, the executive chairman of Seventy7 Ventures, the UK-based sports entertainment and leisure company, who have had a formal offer to acquire the majority of the club’s shareholding and voting rights accepted by the board.
Speaking about his appointment, Thomas said: “I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to chair the Board of Directors at this critical time in the 30-year history of the club. It is a big responsibility but one which I am relishing."
“I have been hugely impressed by the drive, energy and vision of Mr Makwana and look forward to continuing to work with him in the coming weeks as our legal representatives discuss the fine detail needed to complete the deal."
Young is a former football coach and referee with almost 30 years experience as a veterinary surgeon. He is the most recently appointed Director of the club, joining in August 2023.
