STATEMENT: DOUG LEE TO STEP DOWN

Club News
Cardiff City Football Club would like to place on record full thanks and appreciation to outgoing Finance Director Doug Lee who is stepping down from his role at the club at the end of September 2012.

Having achieved the objective of Doug's original appointment of delivering financial stability, along with developing proper financial disciplines at the club after the years of financial uncertainty, he is leaving to explore new opportunities, doing so with our gratitude and respect.

Filling Doug's position will be Simon Lim, who will work closely with Doug and chief executive Alan Whiteley during a transition period, before aiming to further progress the club's international aspirations. Simon will be based at Cardiff City Stadium and with his strong Berjaya connections he will help cement the Club's relationships in Asia, while continuing Doug's work of enhancing our strengths both locally and in the rest of the UK.

All at the club wish Doug every future success and welcome Simon to Cardiff City at the start of his tenure as Finance Director.
