DURHAM County Cricket Club has announced that Tim Bostock will be taking over the reins as chief executive as David Harker steps into a non-executive director role and Allison Curbishley is appointed to board.
Mr Bostock is a senior executive formerly with National Australia Bank and most recently with the New South Wales government and has extensive experience in the private and public sector in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
A keen cricketer, Mr Bostock has played first class cricket in Zimbabwe and minor county cricket for Cheshire. He said: “After a career in banking and commerce it is a great honour to be stepping into the CEO role. I am excited to be taking on the role at such an important time for cricket and delighted to be able to call upon the experience of David as we establish the off field team to lead the club.”
Mr Harker said: “These are exciting times for the club and after 17 years at the helm I am pleased to be able to pass the baton to Tim and to retain my involvement as a director.”
