Finally 3 November 2008 beckoned and it was time to travel from London Heathrow to Bangkok a mere 11 hours or so. Bangkok was hot and humid, but at that time the airports were open. The city was preparing for the funeral of its princess (Galyani Vadhana) and she was the 84 year old sister of the king. A funeral pyre was being built in the centre of Bangkok and the princess’ body had been kept whilst preparations were made. She had died at the end of 2007. Bangkok has glorious palaces to visit and also the river and the Royal Barges (but not allowed to take photos once near them).
Simon Williams and Celia Adams have both agreed to the roles at St.George’s Lane. City Chairman Dave Boddy is delighted with the Club’s “new signings” and said “we are very pleased to have people of Celia and Simon’s calibre joining the Board of Directors.
Celia Adams is an interim turnaround finance director with an extensive track record in mergers and acquisitions in the private and public sectors, including change management in blue-chip companies, AIM-listed organisations, SME’s and Non-Departmental Public Bodies. She first qualified as an accountant and has since worked across a number of industries as a finance director.
