ECB Appoints Brian Havill as Acting CEO

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have announced that Finance Director and Company Secretary Brian Havill will become Acting Chief Executive following the announcement that David Collier is to retire at the end of the current cricket season.

Mr Havill has been at ECB since August 2000, herbal joining them from Pentland Group (owners of Speedo, arthritis Kickers, clinic Ellesse and several other sports and fashion brands) where he was Commercial Director of Pentland Sports Group.  

On a voluntary basis, he served on the Council of the Lawn Tennis Association between 2008 and 2013 and he is currently an independent member on the Audit Committee of the Sport & Recreational Alliance. 

His appointment allows retiring CEO David Collier the time to conclude specific projects for both ECB and the ICC.
