Announcement

Forfar Athletic have appointed a new Director to their Board, in the form of local Solicitor and Forfar resident, Robin Beattie.

Robin is a Partner with local law firm Thorntons Solicitors, a firm with which he has spent his entire legal career – having first joined their ranks as a trainee Solicitor back in 2009. Based predominately from their offices at East High Street, Forfar, Robin also has special responsibilities heading up their litigation offering across their Angus branch network, often to be seen at the firm’s offices in Arbroath and Montrose in addition. Thorntons Solicitors, who are members of the Forfar Athletic Business Club, have of course been sponsors and friends of Forfar Athletic for a number of years and this is a relationship which Robin is confident will continue for many years to come.

Robin is no stranger to the Station Park boardroom, in fact having served as our Company Secretary since the beginning of 2023 with his debut in that role coming at the AGM back in February.

Outside of work, Robin is kept right by his wife Orla, a native of County Clare, Ireland. They have two children, being their daughter Lily (3) and son Cameron (1), both of whom Robin hopes will become fans of the Loons in years to come.

Robin is delighted to join the Board at Station Park, commenting “I am honoured to have been invited to join the Board of Forfar Athletic. I am extremely grateful to the Directors for extending this invitation to me. Accepting the invitation was an easy decision for me to make. It is clear to me that the existing Directors work tirelessly in their running of the Club and I am greatly looking forward to assisting them with their outstanding work. We have an extremely strong foundation to build upon and I am eager to assist the Board in any way that I can to achieve our goals.”
