Chief Executive of Leicestershire County Cricket Club joins Leicestershire Business Voice as new board member

Leicestershire Business Voice (LBV), the voice for local businesses, has appointed Sean Jarvis as its newest board member. Sean is Chief Executive of Leicestershire County Cricket Club and joins nine other members on the LBV board.

Sean brings over 30 years’ experience in business and sports administration to his new role. He and the LBV board are responsible for offering an independent and collective voice to represent the local business community through engagements with other key local stakeholders, the public sector and regional bodies. It also provides members with a regular programme of business-themed events and debates.

Sean has been Chief Executive of Leicestershire County Cricket Club since June 2020, where he is responsible for delivering the strategic plan for the club.

Prior to this role, Sean was a Director of Huddersfield Town Football Club and Trustee of the Town Foundation, the official charity of Huddersfield Town FC. He was also a Director of Huddersfield Canalside, the training ground for Huddersfield Town FC and Chairman of Place To Make It, a group of local business owners who promoted Huddersfield.

Sean was the Owner/Marketing Director of Oldham Athletic FC and started his career as a Director of GSM, a marketing agency in Leeds, with a focus on sports clients.

Commenting on his new role, Sean Jarvis said: “I was born and bred in Leicester and although I’ve worked away from the city for much of my career, my connection to Leicestershire is very important to me, so I’m happy to give back through my new role with LBV.

“I’m keen to develop the brand of Leicester and Leicestershire, nationally and internationally, and build on the Cricket Club’s position as part of the fabric of the local business community.

“LBV is well established and respected, and I see it as a primary vehicle to help local businesses to continue to improve. I’m looking forward to helping the board with its collaborations with, and lobbying of, local and regional influential stakeholder organisations.

“I’m particularly keen to see work around infrastructure improvements, developing links between education and business, growing international investment and of course, celebrating the sporting heritage of the city!”

Robin Pointon, Chair of LBV, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Sean to the board of LBV. We’re committed to representing and being a voice for a broad cross-section of businesses in the city and county. Sean’s role at the Cricket Club, his background, vision and ideas will provide us with a new perspective to add to our support for the local business community.”
