The award is recognition of the massive role that he has played in leading the club from the basement of the football league to the top half of the Premier League as well as back into Europe via our first – and to date only – major trophy

Jenkins was appointed Chairman of the Swans more than ten years ago having purchased a good sized stake in the club alongside local businessmen and the Supporters Trust back at the start of 2002.

One of his first roles was to steer the club free from relegation to the conference but since then it has been pretty much a non stop journey of success with three promotions and he is now preparing the club for a 5th successive season in the Premier League.

The award is completely deserved and having met Huw on many many occasions his passion for our football club is second to none and there is little doubt that there are very few people who could have led this club to the success that we have seen.

Congratulations from all at Planet Swans to Huw Jenkins OBE
