GEM Director Ian Miller appointed as Commercial Director of Hebburn Town FC

We’re incredibly proud to see our Co-Founder and Director, Ian Miller, appointed as Commercial Director at Hebburn Town FC.

As a business built in the North East, supporting local communities, creating opportunities, and making a positive difference to people’s lives has always been central to who we are. That’s why Ian’s appointment feels like such a natural fit.

Ian has been involved with Hebburn Town FC since 2018 through the junior section, coaching his son’s team and becoming a familiar face around the club. Over the years, he has seen first-hand the important role grassroots sport and community organisations play in bringing people together and creating opportunities locally.

At GEM Partnership, we firmly believe strong communities are built through connection, opportunity and local pride — values that Hebburn Town FC represents throughout the town and wider South Tyneside area.

Speaking on his appointment, Ian said:

“What stands out most about Hebburn Town FC is the impact it has beyond football. It’s a club that genuinely sits at the heart of the community and means a great deal to so many local people and families.

“At GEM Partnership, we care deeply about supporting communities across our region and helping create opportunities for people locally, so being able to take on this role is something I’m incredibly proud of.

“I’m looking forward to working with the club, supporters and local businesses to continue building something that can make a lasting positive difference both on and off the pitch.”

Everyone at GEM Partnership would like to congratulate Ian on his appointment, and we look forward to supporting both Ian and Hebburn Town FC throughout this exciting next chapter.
