Chair - Sussex Cricket
Sussex is one of the most historic and respected names in English cricket. Founded in 1839, it carries the distinction of being the oldest county cricket club in the world. Across nearly two centuries, Sussex has produced outstanding cricketers, memorable victories, and moments that have shaped the game both domestically and internationally.
In recent years Sussex Cricket has faced several challenges, but they are determined to strengthen their foundations financially, culturally, and operationally while ensuring that Sussex Cricket continues to be defined by excellence, integrity, and opportunity.
At the same time, there is genuine optimism. Sussex Cricket possesses enormous potential: a proud membership base, a thriving community presence, an internationally recognised pathway for developing young talent, and one of the most distinctive and loved cricket grounds in the country.
Sussex Cricket’s ambition is not simply to preserve their heritage, but to build a modern, resilient, and high-performing organisation capable of competing consistently at the highest level.
The appointment of their next Chair is therefore a pivotal step in this journey, helping ensure that Sussex Cricket not only honours its past but also embraces the opportunities ahead with confidence and clarity.
Sussex Cricket are seeking an individual who brings both sound judgement and genuine passion for the role. The successful candidate will help guide the Board and executive team through the next chapter of the organisation’s development strengthening governance, supporting long-term financial performance, creating sustainability through adopting a growth mindset and championing the values that make Sussex special.
Most importantly, they will embrace and champion the full reach of our impact across the county whilst helping create an environment in which players, staff, and community can flourish.
