Brentford FC is sorry to announce that today is Ann Stanford's last day in charge of the Bees Superstore.

The Club would like to express their thanks and gratitude for the tremendous work and effort that Ann has put in since she returned to the Club from Reading.

Ann, a lifelong Bees fan talked to us prior to her imminent departure:

"I am grateful to the Management of Brentford Football Club for giving me the opportunity to say 'goodbye' to all my friends and fellow supporters at the Club.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to return to Griffin Park and I set myself the target of getting the Bees Superstore up and running to the highest possible standard which I feel has been achieved. I think that the Club now has one of the most professionally run Club shops in Leagues One and Two, offering a good range of quality merchandise and Customer Service.

I am sorry to be leaving the Club at this time, but I wish the Team every success for the coming Season - up the Bees!"

Ann has decided to leave the Club for personal reasons and to move onto pastures new. Everyone at the Club wishes her well in the future.
