Fantastic Facilities Manager recognised

Mike Mcloughlin has been chosen as Chester FC Community Trust’s Community Captain. Mike has been recognised for his exceptional work within the community, managing the day-to-day operations at King George V Community Sports Hub in Blacon to ensure the facility is well kept and game ready for many grassroots football teams and other groups across the Chester area.

Mike is a fantastic facilities manager; he takes pride in his work and no job is ever too big. He has an excellent rapport with his colleagues as well as the local football teams and groups who visit King George V Community Sports Hub, including players, participants, coaches and parents.

Community Trust CEO Jim Green said: “Mike epitomises everything you would want in a teammate and is richly deserving of the honour of Community Captain.

“His can-do attitude, positive approach and helpfulness is key to the success of the sports hub, and he is regularly commended by users of the facility.”

Community Captain Mike, for the 2024 Premier League’s More Than A Game campaign, said: “I’m thrilled to have been awarded this year’s Community Captain. I love working for both Chester FC and Chester FC Community Trust, my passion is football and being able to support others in the beautiful game is something I am proud of. I enjoy meeting new people and developing relationships with regular users of the sports hub. I want to ensure the facility is at its best when in use to maintain our professional reputation within the community.”
