Businesswoman Jenny Wynn has been appointed as the independent chairwoman of a committee which will oversee the new appointments.

The committee will be made up by representatives of the two boards.

She is the managing director of Telford-based TTC Group and has chaired West Mercia Crimestoppers board.

Club chairman Lee Carter said: "Jenny is an exceptional choice as independent chair of the committee and will no doubt use all of her experience to guide us through the next stage of this evolution and beyond."
