Election 2025
GROWING BU
I announced at the BU AGM earlier this year in January that, following the resignation of three valued and experienced board members, we would be recruiting new Board members.
We are now announcing our recruitment drive, today and Sharon explains all the detail below.
We welcome the chance to have new blood, new input and skills on the BU Board, please think about putting your name forward.
Stuart
JOIN THE BEES UNITED BOARD
We are looking for three new Board Members to supplement the highly committed members who currently serve on the BU Board.
Do you have fantastic skills, experience and enthusiasm you could bring to strengthen our work as the BFC Supporters’ Trust ?
Bees United has fought for a unique role in ensuring that Brentford remains a club which we, the fans, can call our own. We are unique as the only fan group in the Premier League with a seat on the main board of its club. We also have a Protective Rights Deed which is legally binding confirming BU’s rights to veto any proposed sale of the club’s stadium and to appoint a fan to the club Board.
We represent our members on the BFC Fan Advisory Board, which we Co-Chair. We sit on a number of BFC Working Groups. We are the custodians of the Club’s archive and take the lead on preserving and celebrating BFC’s history and heritage. We want fans to know and understand where we have come from as a club and we are committed to strengthening the bonds between the Club and the community which it serves.
About you
We would particularly welcome candidates who have skills and experience to bring to our current Board including, events organisation, social media, marketing and website management skills, and digital and project management.
Applications open now
This opportunity is open to all current BU Members, over the age of 16, as at August 21st. Would you like an application pack, or you’d like an informal chat about joining the Board?
Please email Stuart Hatcher, our Chair

Applications close on 12th September 2025
If we receive more than three applicants who meet the criteria we will hold an independent election where all BU Members will be invited to vote. Successful candidates will be invited to join the Board immediately, their appointment ratified at the BU AGM in January 2026.
