Lewis Denmark, NCF Cricket Development Director, said: “Having appointed Norwich Accountancy Services to manage our day-to-day financial controls, Giles will bring a wealth of experience and value to support the organisation from a financial oversight perspective. Having been appointed before Christmas, Giles has already supported me immensely and is playing a key role in the creation of our first year SORP charitable accounts having moved to a charitable company in 2025. ”

Giles Kerkham said: “NCF has a fantastic team of staff and trustees, and I’m incredibly proud to join them. Club cricket has been a huge part of my life, and I’m excited by the charity’s mission to bring more people into bat‑and‑ball games, with all the sporting and wider benefits they provide. Furthermore I’m looking forward to doing what I can to help the Foundation unlock the opportunities of its new charity status.”
