Ray Trew is a businessman and football club chairman from Lincolnshire. He is a former board member of Lincoln City F.C. and owns a controlling interest in Notts County F.C., and Notts County Ladies F.C..
Trew achieved his wealth through recruitment,[1] having founded Contracting Solutions Group in 1995.[2] The company posted a £3.7m profit in 2009.[3] Trew also maintains numerous other private companies.[2]
Lincoln City
On 5 August 2003, Trew became an Associate Director at Lincoln City[4] becoming a full director at the end of the month.[5] In August 2005 he was appointed Chairman of Football with Steff Wright succeeding Rob Bradley as Chairman of the Board.[6] He departed in January 2006 after a boardroom dispute which saw manager Keith Alexander placed on gardening leave, then re-instated.[7] In April three of Trew's companies then terminated their sponsorship deals with the club.[8]
A subsequent bid to buy the club and provide substantial investment was blocked by the Lincoln City board, with chairman Steff Wright publicly questioning Trew's motives.[9][10]
Lincoln Ladies
In 2006 Trew joined the committee of Lincoln City Ladies. In addition to an £8,000-per-season sponsorship through his SportsTV company, Trew provided additional backing of up to £10,000 to aid the club's promotion bid.[11] In 2008 the club changed its name to OOH Lincoln Ladies, due to a sponsorship deal with Trew's Out Of Home marketing company.[12]
Trew also backed the club's successful FA WSL application.[12]
Notts County
Trew purchased Notts County for £1 in February 2010 following the departure of Qadbak Investments. He inherited liabilities of £7m from the former owners.[13]
On 25 February 2016 Trew stepped down as chairman of Notts County.[14]
Nottingham Rugby Club
In July 2010 Trew took control of Nottingham Rugby Club, via Meadow Lane plc.[15] On 28 September 2011 Trew relinquished his interest in Nottingham Rugby Club.[16]
