MALDON & Tiptree have new owners.
A consortium of local business people has invested in the club, with the stated aim of securing a sustainable long-term future for the Jammers.
The new ownership group is made up of Sonny Shahnawaz, S. Miah, I. Furtado and Jamil Trofder.
The group is entirely independent of the Jammers' previous ownership, representing a complete change in the leadership and direction.
The Pitching In Isthmian Premier club said: “We can confirm that a consortium of experienced, local business people have been working for some time on a proposed investment into Maldon & Tiptree FC Ltd.

“We remain extremely committed to securing the club’s future and are continuing to work constructively with all relevant stakeholders to reach a conclusion.
“Given the sensitivity of the situation, we are unable to comment on the detail of the discussions at this stage, but our intention is very clear: to secure a sustainable future for the club and protect its place at the heart of the community.”
The statement stops short of confirming that a takeover has been completed, with discussions continuing and no further detail given on the identity of the consortium, the scale of the proposed investment or a potential timeframe for an agreement.

However, the announcement provides a clear indication that efforts are being made behind the scenes to put the club on a firmer financial footing.
There has been uncertainty regarding Maldon & Tiptree’s future, with the Jammers Fans Association (JFA) stating that they were aware a selection of supporters had received an email from the club’s representatives ‘regarding their intent to liquidate Maldon & Tiptree FC’.
The JFA say the club’s fans have been left facing an “impossible choice” between attending matches to support the management team and players, or staying away from home games amid concerns over where their money goes.

The Jammers will hope the proposed investment can provide stability and enable the club to plan with greater confidence for the future, both on the pitch and within the wider community.
Further updates are expected once discussions with the relevant stakeholders have reached a conclusion.
The new owners are hosting a Q&A session on Saturday (September 12) prior to the club's home game against Whitehawk.
