The make-up of the 2026 Nottinghamshire General Committee has been confirmed, with Penny Huggard and Fraser Montgomery re-elected, Ravi Badge elected for a second term, and Ade Brant appointed by the club’s nominations panel.

The positions were confirmed at Nottinghamshire’s 2026 Annual General Meeting, where members also voted for Richard Tennant to continue as the club’s President for a second year.

Huggard, who was originally elected onto the Committee in 2020, is currently the lead Committee member for governance and has worked in senior governance and finance roles in the public, private and charity sectors.

Montgomery, who succeeded Paul Ellis as the club’s Treasurer, is currently Chief Financial Officer at Ambassador Cruise Line. He previously worked as a qualified accountant across the leisure industry, and joined the Committee in 2023.

Badge, who previously served on the Committee from 2021 to 2024, is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with experience in governance, strategy, and performance oversight.

Brant is Chief Information Officer at Barratt Redrow, the UK’s largest housebuilder, and a Non-Executive Director at the University of Derby.

Tennant, meanwhile, served as Nottinghamshire’s Chair between 2016 and 2021, having been part of the club’s General Committee for over two decades. He succeeded Chris Broad as President in 2025.

Those in attendance at the AGM heard strategic updates from the club’s new Chief Executive, Richard Kenyon, alongside Chair Andy Hunt, Treasurer Fraser Montgomery, Director of Cricket Mick Newell, and Mandy Wright, who is Head of the Trent Bridge Community Trust.

Members heard the latest on the club’s Pavilion redevelopment, which will be completed this summer, and of ambitions to continue pursuing ground developments at Lady Bay and Trent Bridge – where state-of-the-art digital screens will be installed this year.

The intention to bring the brands of Nottinghamshire and The Blaze closer together from 2027 was also announced – as was a series of member listening events, with further information to follow in the coming weeks.

“What I can promise you is openness, energy, and an unstinting ambition to ensure Nottinghamshire retains its rightful place at the top table of English cricket – and continues to play a leading role in shaping the game,” said Kenyon as he addressed members.

“When I was appointed, one member of the General Committee said to me, as we finished the formalities, ‘look after it.’ And I will. But looking after it also means growing it – so we can remain competitive and be winners tomorrow as we are today.

“I don’t have all the answers yet, but I do know I am joining at a time of remarkable – and probably unprecedented – opportunity for this club.

“Thank you for everything you as members, colleagues and committee members past and present have done to create that opportunity, and for making Nottinghamshire the respected, successful, and much-loved club that it is.

“I am very much looking forward to a summer of cricket at Trent Bridge to packed houses, memorable moments, and sharing some great experiences with members, supporters, and colleagues alike.”

Members also voted in favour of a series of amendments to the club’s constitution, which updated the club’s borrowing guidelines and conflict of interest rule, made explicit the club’s power to hold a financial interest in a franchise cricket team, updated the club’s objects in line with a recommendation from the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket, and gave an individual who called an EGM the power to halt the EGM process if they wished.
