Tony Kelly appointed Waterford FC commercial executive

Well-known local actor and film producer Tony Kelly has been appointed as the latest member of the Waterford FC commercial team where he’ll take a position as a new commercial executive.

Kelly, who also does voiceovers for Virgin Media, recently starred and produced the film, “The Hurler”, and the fanatic Liverpool supporter also hosts the popular questions and answers sessions with former and current players as part of the club’s hospitality packages at home games.

He is also to the forefront of the new Waterford FC Official Podcast with the club confirming his appointment to the commercial team in the past week after the departure of Maeve Williams, who leaves the role to go back to college.

Commenting on the role, Kelly said: “I’m delighted to get even more involved with the club, to continue my roles on the media side of things and to now move into this new position with the commercial team is hugely exciting.

“I’m looking forward to helping to continue to grow existing relationships and bring in new club partner as well. So, if you’ve been interested in getting involved with the exciting times as the club and didn’t really know how, give me a shout.” 

Commenting on the role, Adrian Hunt said: “With Tony’s passion for Waterford FC, it made complete sense to get him onboard within the commercial department with his wealth of knowledge of the local area not just with the people but with the business community as well, this appointment will help elevate and push our commercial team to a new level.

“We are happy that Tony has joined us at Waterford FC. His passion for the club has been evident since I first met him – he has been asking to do more and more and wanting to get involved with any projects in which he could add value, so when this position became available it made complete sense.” 

The club paid tribute to the work of Maeve Williams adding “Waterford FC would also like to thank Maeve Williams for her efforts within the commercial team, as Maeve leaves to go back to college. The club would like to wish her well, and thank her for the huge effort she put in to making the commercial department & hospitality lounge what it is today.”
