Ian Bennett - Director (Chair)
Ian is currently MD of a SME and has owned the company for the last 20 years.
Ian has been a Wednesday fan since his father first took him in 1964 and he has held a season ticket since 1969. Ian travels home and away and last missed a match (COVID excepting) in 2015.
Ian says that, apart from his family, it is fair to say that Wednesday is engrained into him.
Ian joined the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters’ Trust as he felt that the Trust was the only legitimate group that were democratic and run for the supporters to voice their true opinion. Ian is proud to have been elected as Chair and hopes to carry out his duties to the best of his ability.

Peter Bradbury – Director (Treasurer)
Peter’s support of Sheffield Wednesday has been a major part of his life. His first match was a home defeat to Everton at the end of the 1969-70 season, and he started going home and away from the 1971-72 season onwards. Despite the “ups and downs”, Peter has loved his association with the club and the camaraderie with fellow fans.
Peter recently retired after spending 35 years as a Finance Director in the private and charity sectors. He has been a long-standing Trust member and wants to use his business experience to be that “safe pair of hands” with the finances and to help influence the future direction of the Trust.

Neil Seepujak - Co-optee (Website & Communications support)
Neil has been a Wednesdayite since 1984 and went to his first game in 1986 with his Dad, a 2-2 draw with Leicester City. Personal highlights for Neil include being a mascot v Spurs in 1988, and watching the 1991 League Cup semi-final and final from the Chapeltown British Legion Club. The highs – going to Cardiff in 2005, and the lows – that Hull game at Wembley… Neil says it’s the hope that kills you.
Neil lives in Manchester and he gets to games, home and away, whenever family and work permits. Professionally, Neil is a trade union official, with a background in consumer rights, communications and the civil service.
Neil wants a better voice for supporters, and a better relationship with the Club, which is why he joined the Trust – as he feels that the Trust is the best vehicle for change.

David Lee – Director (Diversity & Inclusion Coordinator)
David’s first game was as a 9-year-old when he went with his Dad and Grandad to see Wednesday beat the mighty Spurs 1960/61 league and cup winning double side. David was near the tunnel that day and looking over to the right, he can still see youngsters being passed head over head down to the front of the Kop to this day. Attendance was 53,988 on just three sides of the ground as the North was being built and not yet open.
David is interested in helping the Trust develop with diversity, equality and inclusivity and therefore see more supporters welcomed at Hillsborough

Richard Marsh – Director (FSA Liaison Coordinator)
Richard started watching the Owls with the 5-4 victory over the then European Champions in 1968 and after that he was hooked. Like many others, it was his Dad’s and Grandad’s fault – Richard has since inflicted the Wednesday bug on his kids.
Richard currently works for a Charitable Foundation in one of the country’s most deprived communities. Richard brings experience of partnership working from the voluntary sector across the UK for The Prince’s Trust, latterly as CEO of Manchester Youth Zone.
Richard is still playing and coaching football and he is a Trustee for a community football club in Blackburn. Richard has experience of governance and running successful voluntary organisations that are successful by working in partnership.
Richard wants to see Sheffield Wednesday FC become a club at the heart of the community reflecting the values of cohesion and aspiration.

Phiroze Dastur Mackenzie
Phiroze first trip to see the Wednesday was a memorable 7 - 1 loss to Nottingham Forest. Despite the heavy loss the atmosphere and amazing place that Hillsborough is, got under his skin. He is now attempting to bring his 2 daughters along to games and give them the bug with their first season ticket this year.
Phiroze has joined the trust to help keep Wednesday a strong vibrant club with a bright future. He thinks having an organisation in place to be ready to lead the fan base to protect the club against any threats is vital in the topsy turvy world of football. He wants to make sure that games are a welcoming place for fans of all sorts to stop any barriers that existed previously to joining the Wednesday family.
He is a self employed construction project manager.
