Level Playing Field Award to the Club Employee of the Year - John Starkey

Level Playing Field thinks it is important that people are recognised for the great work they do, often working behind the scenes and without seeking the limelight. LPF aims to celebrate the work of these individuals with our awards.

The LPF ‘Club Employee of the Year Award’ is awarded to an employee who has been pro-active in identifying and solving issues for disabled supporters. To someone who makes a difference in improving access and increasing opportunities for disabled supporters.

This year LPF is delighted to award the 'Level Playing Field Club Employee of the Year' to Birmingham City’s John Starkey. To read more click here.
