Carolyn Sumner is a Scottish businesswoman who was previously a director of professional football club Livingston.
Career
Sumner was a director of Livingston until December 2014 when she resigned, following comments in the media made by shareholder Ged Nixon relating to undeclared bonus payments. In a statement made on the club's website, Sumner denied the claims that she had any knowledge or involvement in the matter.[1][2][3]
Sumner and former director Neil Hogarth attempted to halt and suspend a potential takeover at Livingston in December 2023. The pair had lodged a petition with the Court of Session.[4][5][6][7][8] In December 2024, Livingston announced that the club had reached an agreement with all parties in the court case.[9][10]
