Elphin native Aidan Brady has been appointed as the first Commercial Director of Roscommon GAA.

The appointment of Brady, who has been a member of fundraising group Club Rossie since 2016 and has a significant business track record stretching back over 25 years, was announced in yesterday's county SFC final match programme.

Pat Compton, Chairman of Club Rossie, said: “The appointment of a Commercial Director is an important development in the evolution of Club Rossie. Thanks to the fantastic support of Roscommon supporters, clubs and businesses we are now generating significant funds and recurring income. This needs to be managed and grown. This appointment will help Club Rossie deliver additional revenue in the coming years. 

"Aidan has agreed to take the position on a voluntary basis for a trial period so we can gauge if the role of commercial director merits a full-time position within Roscommon GAA. To ensure this is a sustainable position we will also review the role in terms of setting up the right structures and related governance procedures."

The new Commercial Director commented: “As a proud Elphin man coming from a family steeped in the GAA this is a great honour for my family and me.

"I have been involved with Club Rossie since 2016 and I want to pay tribute to the fantastic team within Club Rossie who have raised significant revenue for Roscommon GAA since 2014. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and I look forward to continuing my work with Club Rossie.

"I am focused on looking after existing sponsors, business members and partners, bringing new companies on board and working closely with Roscommon County Board to maximise the revenue generated by Club Rossie.

"I look forward to forging and developing relationships with all stakeholders and codes within the county and beyond. We will be announcing some exciting commercial initiatives and marketing opportunities for 2020 which we hope will attract new members and partners.”
