Sussex Cricket CEO, Pete Fitzboydon, has announced today that he will be leaving the club this Winter. It comes after two successful seasons with the club, but will be stepping down due to personal reasons.
Sussex Cricket Chair, Jon Filby, says he's hugely delivered to the organisation during his time:
“Pete joined the organisation with an agenda for change and he certainly delivered. Progress has been remarkable, with a new catering partner on board, a game-changing state school cricket programme secured, men’s professional cricket returning to Arundel Castle, and our beloved County Ground looking better than ever.
“Pete certainly leaves us in a better place and I am grateful that he has agreed to stay for a period to finish off some projects and ensure a smooth transition. The Sussex Cricket family wishes him continued success in the future.”
The CEO has expressed that he is proud of what they have achieved in the last two years, and will be leaving with mixed emotions:
"I will leave with so many happy memories thanks to the great staff, players, board, members, supporters, and sponsors who have made me feel so welcome."
He now looks forward to handing over the job for the 2026 season and hopes to watch their continued success.
