Leander Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Steve O’Connor as the club’s new general manager. Steve is taking over from Al Heathcote and will start at the club in May.
Steve is currently the director of the River and Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames where he has been instrumental in transforming what the museum has to offer the town. Prior to that, Steve ran Fulham Reach Boat Club in London where he developed a thriving and busy community club almost from nothing. Steve is currently a member of Leander Club and has a background in marketing and sales, working for major international companies.
Commenting on Steve’s appointment, Leander Club chairman Pete Bridge said: “We are absolutely delighted that Steve has agreed to join us. His experience at Fulham Reach and at the River and Rowing Museum will be invaluable in helping the club build on all the great work that has been done over the past few years. Living in Henley himself, Steve will bring his unique insight to ensuring a truly excellent experience at the club for all our athletes and members. Whilst the River and Rowing Museum’s loss is Leander’s gain, Leander and the Museum continue to have much in common in the making and recording of Henley Town’s illustrious rowing history.”
