After the creation of the new charity “Ayr Rugby Football Club” Neil Reid was instrumental in setting up the new accountancy regime and helped guide the board through their first charity audit. Due to increased work commitments as a partner at Dains Accountants, Neil has resigned from his position at Ayr Rugby Club.
We are delighted to announce that Andrew McMorland has agreed to join the Board of Directors at Ayr Rugby Club as Finance Director. Andrew has been an accountant for over 35 years and has been a partner at Smith & Wallace for 17 years. Andrew has experience in business management, finance and fundraising and has also been involved in various 3rd sector organisations including charities, voluntary groups and member led clubs.
Andrew will lead on reviewing the clubs trading position, setting of budgets and assisting with project management. Andrew sees the role as an opportunity to give some of his time and experience back to the local community.
Club Chairman, Brian Williamson, said “Since the inception of the new charity, we have benefitted greatly from the expertise of talented individuals who have been willing to give up their time in favour of our club. I have known Andy for many years and I am excited to see what he will bring to the role. On behalf of the club I would like to thank Neil Reid for his help and advice to date and welcome Andy McMorland onto the board.”
