Off the ledger & on the pitch: Insights from Dundee United

Join us for a unique behind‑the‑scenes evening at Tannadice Park, the historic home of Dundee United Football Club. Located on Tannadice Street in Dundee and seating over 14,200 fans, the stadium has hosted football since the late 19th century and has been DUFC’s home since 1909.

Against this iconic backdrop, we’re excited to welcome James Robertson, Dundee United’s Finance Director, for an inspiring and insightful session, followed by a guided tour of premises & lots of networking.

James Robertson, Finance Director, Dundee United Football Club

James’ career journey began at Arnold Clark, where he progressed from a finance graduate to Finance Controller while completing his ACCA qualification and balancing full‑time work with demanding studies. He later stepped into the role of Finance Director at Dundee United, arriving during a challenging period following the club’s relegation. Since then, he has played a key role in stabilising the club’s finances, implementing strategic improvements, and guiding DUFC toward a stronger financial position.

Your ticket includes a guided tour of Tannadice Park—one of Scotland’s most storied football grounds, featuring stands like the George Fox Stand and Jerry Kerr Stand, and famed for its close proximity to the rival Dens Park, only 200 yards away.

Explore areas normally reserved for players and staff, and experience the stadium from new vantage points.

After the talk and tour, enjoy a relaxed networking session with refreshments—perfect for connecting with fellow finance professionals, students, football fans, and anyone interested in career growth and the business of sport.

And with Dundee holding the title of Scotland’s sunniest city, we’re hoping for a bright spring evening to match the atmosphere.

• Hear directly from DUFC’s Finance Director
• Learn about real finance strategy within a top football club
• Explore one of Scotland’s most historic stadiums
