Lewis Carroll returns to Stanley
Accrington Stanley are delighted to announce the return of Lewis Carroll, overseeing the merchandising operations of the football club.
Accrington born Lewis had previously been with the club for a spell as commercial manager in 2007. He comes with a wealth of retail managment experience having worked for large names such as Bensons and Game, where he managed the company's flagship stores in Manchester Arndale Centre and the Trafford Centre.
Speaking about his new role Lewis said "It's great to be back at the club and especially to be looking after the retail operations, which is the field I have been involved for most of my career. There is a lot of excitement at the club at the moment with the team doing well and with big changes taking place off the field too. I am looking forward to really developing what Accrington Stanley offers in terms of merchandise, and working with the rest of the team to develop the brand."
Chief executive Rob Heys welcomed the latest addition to the Stanley team "Lewis did a great job when he was with us previously and he can't wait to get started developing our retail activities. It is far more than just revamping the Stanley Store here at the club, we need to look at our brand and really expand the whole operation, whether that be here at the club, in the town, mail order, online, or anywhere else we can get Accrington Stanley into. Our name is perhaps one of our biggest assets and it is something that Lewis along with Dan and Martin in the commercial department are going to be working hard to ensure that we get the most from it."
Good news I think
