Norfolk Cricket Board (NCB) has appointed a new non-executive director to help progress cricket in the county. Neil Moggan joins the NCB with a brief to help drive the engagement of children and young people.

Neil runs his own education consultancy Future Action Limited which he set up in 2020 and is a member of Acle CC. 

Neil was Director of Sport, Health and RSHE at City Academy in Norwich from 2014 to December 2022. Before that he was Head of Physical Education at Acle Academy for more than four years.

The new appointment was approved at the NCB’s board meeting on 16 October.

Jane Hannah, Norfolk Cricket Board Chair, said: “Neil has an amazing passion for the greater outcomes of cricket for young people and has expertise in engaging young people from a diverse range of backgrounds. These skills will complement our existing board by ensuring we are representing young people in our work.”

Lewis Denmark, NCB Cricket Development Director, said: “I look forward to working with Neil in his new non-executive role for the board. Engaging Children and Young People is a key strategic focus for both the ECB and NCB and I have no doubt that Neil will bring good support and assistance from his professional background to this area as we strive to make cricket as inclusive as it possibly can be within Norfolk.”

Neil Moggan said: “’I am delighted to join the Norfolk Cricket Board. I am passionate about transforming children’s life chances and cricket can be a fantastic vehicle to do that. It is an important time for the sport in view of the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) report. We need to make cricket more inclusive and engaging for all young people. 

“I am looking forward to supporting Lewis, his team and all the board so that as many children as possible can benefit from our great game throughout Norfolk.”
