Martin Kenny
Director

My career has been in commercial and operational management, including several years as a contract and finance manager for global contracts where I learned that trust is built through consistency, not empty promises. That's the same discipline I bring to CSL: every enquiry, every proxy appointment, every AGM resolution handled properly and on record, so that when we tell 28,000 shareholders we can be trusted with their voice, we've already proven it.

Held to the Same Standard We Ask of Celtic’s Board

CSL’s directors serve unpaid. Every decision is measured against the same 12-point governance framework CSL is asking Celtic plc to adopt.
