Havill Appointed ECB Acting Chief Executive
Brian Havill, the England and Wales Cricket Board’s finance director and company secretary, has taken on the additional role of 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, joining them from Pentland Group – who own the likes of Speedo, Kickers and Ellesse – where he was commercial director of the sports group.
On a voluntary basis, he also 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.
According to the ECB, his appointment allows retiring CEO David Collier the time to conclude specific projects for both ECB and the ICC.
