London Directors’ Club & Summer Party Set For August With ECB Chairman Graves on Board
June 25, 2015
iSportconnect, ampoule the world’s largest private network for sports business executives, is delighted to announce England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Chairman Colin Graves as the first panellist for the return of the Directors’ Club to London this summer.
The event will be making its second appearance of the year in London on 12th August.
This will be the sixth Directors’ Club event of the year, with appearances in cities such as Moscow, Mexico City, Dubai and Paris.
Colin Graves was named as Chairman of the ECB in May, having previously served as Deputy Chairman for two years between 2013 and 2015.
He is the founder of Costcutter Supermarkets Group and built the business to 1700 franchise stores with annual sales of £700 million/annum, before selling the business to Bibby Line Group in 2012.
Graves also spent almost five years as the chief executive of the Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 2002-2007, where he later also had a successful spell as chairman from 2007 to 2015.
Originally starting in London but now with an impressive international roster, iSportconnect Directors’ Club events are a gathering of exclusively invited director level delegates, partaking in a BBC Question Time-style discussion with a panel of well-established executives from the sport industry.
Followed by networking, the discussion is held under Chatham House rules, allowing for an open and free flowing debate.
iSportconnect Chairman Michael Cunnah said: “We are pleased to welcome Colin as our first panellist for the second Directors’ Club of the year in London. Cricket has got a very high profile this summer, so Colin’s views on how cricket is developing and on sport in general, will be very interesting.”
Save the Date: 12th August
