Grimsby Town Football Club can confirm that co-owner and Vice-Chair, Jason Stockwood, has recently been appointed as the UK’s Minister for Investment and will shortly take his seat in the House of Lords.

To avoid any potential conflict of interest and to ensure the club remains politically neutral, Jason will be stepping back from his day-to-day responsibilities at GTFC while he serves as a Minister in the UK Government. As a result, Jason will not be attending the fans forum on Friday.

Jason remains fully committed to Grimsby Town but, in line with the requirements of his new role, will step down from the club’s board with immediate effect. He will also step down as a trustee of the Foundation. His equity will continue to be held in the club and managed on his behalf by Andrew during his time in government.

Everyone at GTFC congratulates Jason on this important national appointment and thanks him for his continued passion, dedication, and service to the Mariners.
