HKRFU CEO Resigns

The Hong Kong Rugby Football Union (HKRFU) has confirmed that Mr Ian McMahon has resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer.

HKRFU Chairman Trevor Gregory said, “Since his appointment two years ago, Ian has made a significant contribution to HKRFU operations and has overseen the successful management of the Hong Kong Sevens and the recent British & Irish Lions v Barbarians match.

“Ian, however, has been unable to relocate his family to Hong Kong from the USA and has therefore decided to resign in order to address this matter.

“While Ian has offered to complete his contractual notice period, considering the personal reasons for his resignation the Board has decided to waive this requirement to effect his resignation.

“We respect his decision and wish Ian well in the future.”

The HKRFU is expected to announce details of its executive search process to fill this position, in due course.
