Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club’s Chief Executive, Lisa Pursehouse, is to step down from the role at the end of the 2025 season.
Lisa joined the club from Yorkshire CCC in late 2000 as Sales and Marketing Manager, going on to serve as Commercial Director, Commercial Operations Director and Deputy Chief Executive before taking the helm in May 2012.
“I’ve been incredibly lucky to call Trent Bridge home for over two decades, and to enjoy a career that has offered me so many opportunities to learn and grow both personally and professionally,” she said.
“I've worked with some great people, been involved in the staging of some memorable matches and watched our men's and women's teams both win trophies.
"Our venue holds a special place in the hearts of cricket members and supporters across the world. A large part of that is down to the warm welcome we offer and the experience we deliver, and it’s been a huge honour to lead the talented and committed group of people who have brought that to fruition.
“We've achieved so much together, and I have so many wonderful memories which I'll cherish for the rest of my life.
“This has been a big decision for me to make, and I have lots of emotions as I reflect on my time here, but I feel it's the right time for me to hand over the reins.
“There is lots to deliver in the years ahead. The redevelopment of our historic Pavilion, which is so crucial to our aspirations for the long term, is now up and running. We are now the home of men's and women's professional teams, and we have a confirmed schedule of major matches that includes Men's Ashes Tests in 2027 and 2031.
“It’s a great opportunity for someone to lead this club through the next cycle of its history.”
Nottinghamshire’s Chair, Andy Hunt, added: “It has been a privilege to work alongside Lisa during a time of significant change for the game.
“Her unwavering commitment and expertise, not only to Nottinghamshire but also to the wider game, will undoubtedly be missed.
“Fortunately, Lisa has built an exceptional team who will continue to excel in their roles, ensuring the club’s continued success.
“As the longest-serving Chief Executive in the game, it is impossible to point to a single achievement as her legacy; instead, it is the culture of the organisation as a whole that will endure as her most lasting impact.
“On behalf of everyone at the club, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Lisa for an outstanding tenure as Chief Executive. We wish her nothing but continued success in all her future endeavours.”
