Hibs sets new goals for future after consultancy joins team

Hibernian Football Club, which is embracing a number of modern business tactics in its management practices, has signed a two-season partnership with TWF (UK), a business development consultancy.

Now it can expect to mix discussion about set pieces and the use of sweepers with business leader and employee-focused workshops.

TWF (UK) has worked with more than a thousand organisations and 100,000 delegates over the past 15 years and John Stein, managing director, commended the business model used by the club's board of directors and management team. He said they were "widely recognised as the way forward for football clubs".

Scott Lindsay, Hibs chief executive, said: "We welcome John Stein and his team to the Hibernian family and are delighted they have come on board.

"As well as being a passionate Hibernian season ticket holder, John has a passion for helping businesses grow.

"I look forward to working with his team to deliver new business communications."
