RALPH RIMMER OBE JOINS GIANTS BOARD AS 'DIRECTOR FOR CHANGE'.

Huddersfield Giants are delighted to announce that Ralph Rimmer OBE the former CEO of the RFL, has accepted an invitation from Ken Davy to join the Giants Board as 'Director For Change'.

Ralph recently completed an intensive 3 month review of every aspect of the Club to help drive forward the Giants ambitions for the future.

Giants Chairman Ken Davy said “We like many clubs, face challenges, however ours are particularly acute given the circumstances forced upon us by the stadium situation with a need for both short and long term solutions.  We also have the absolute desire to put ourselves consistently at the top end of the Betfred Super League and, as I have publicly stated, achieve a Grand Final spot within three years. To achieve our goals will not be easy. It is going to take complete focus and dedication from everyone involved as we drive through change within all areas of the Club."

"I was absolutely delighted when Ralph agreed to join the Board, as his energy, knowledge and expertise has already been a breath of fresh air for everyone at the Club and the Giants Community Trust, and we will need everyone to support and buy into our change mentality for us to be successful. The journey will not be an easy one, but in Ralph we have a man whose abilities will help us to maximise the opportunities ahead and enable our dedicated staff to excel.”

Ralph Rimmer said “Having worked within the Giants over the last few months in completing the original task, I couldn’t help but feel the passion and desire that exists amongst everyone at the Club to push-on and achieve more. I have worked with the Board, the staff, the coaches, the players and the Community Trust and have not only been welcomed in but fresh ideas have been embraced. The mood for change is very real. When Ken asked if I would consider staying on to help drive change, I did have other options to consider but my enthusiasm for the club and the people in and around it, won through. No one now underestimates what lies ahead but good people, working together with energy, can achieve a lot. I would like to feel that I have had an impact thus far, there is a good vibe growing internally and we are absolutely up for the challenge. There are some exciting changes ahead :the clue is in the title!”
