Lee Atkins. Well he is according to our own website in the list of Directors! http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/club/contact_us/ I just seen this on the gas guzzler forum! Nothing from the club in public about this yet.
Taken from gas guzzler who has 'apparently' found out who he is.... He's an accountant: www.hamilton-lunn.com/index_files/Page363.htm "Lee qualified as a Chartered Management Accountant in 1996. Between 1989 and 1994 he worked as a Financial Controller firstly for an underwriting agency and then for a trade finance group providing invoice discounting facilities. In 1994 he was appointed Group Management Accountant of Union plc and later was promoted to Financial Controller of Union Global Securities, which traded on a proprietary basis in financial derivatives. In 1997 he moved to Investec Bank (UK) Limited with his colleagues from Union Global Securities to re-establish the proprietary trading company and create a hedge fund; he also worked there as a product development manager and in private banking. He is now responsible for assisting Ian Schmiegelow in all Hamilton Lunn’s business activities." The owner of Hamilton Lunn is a director of Jordan International Bank with the Al Qadis
Taken from the Post.... New owner Wael Al Qadi is already starting to put the wheels of change in motion at Bristol Rovers by forming a new-look board of directors. Al Qadi completed a multi-million pound deal to purchase 92 per cent of the club's share capital last week in a deal that saw outgoing chairman Nick Higgs stand down along with the rest of all the former equity directors. Paperwork filed at Companies House earlier this week confirmed that Higgs, Barry Bradshaw, Ed Ware, Chris Jelf and Colin Sexstone had all resigned their positions on the board. Paperwork was also filed to confirm the resignation of financial director Toni Watola – although he is expected to remain as an employee in the role of chief operating officer.

Al Qadi, meanwhile, had a meeting with first-team manager Darrell Clarke at Rovers' Cribbs Causeway training HQ on Tuesday morning to further discuss his plans for the club going forward and also took some time to look around the facility.
He's talked the talk, judging by the information about his meeting with DC and looking at the facilities that he is preparing to walk the walk
