We are delighted to announce that Matthew Fleming has been appointed as the next President of the Marylebone Cricket club (MCC). MCC is the world’s most active cricket club, the owner of Lord’s Ground and the guardian of the Laws of the game. Founded in 1787, it has been recognised as the sole authority on the Laws of Cricket since its foundation.
Matthew will take up the position from current President, Roger Knight, on the 1st October 2016. Having been an elected member on the Club’s Main committee since 2005, he has become a driving force behind the MCC foundation’s work in Afghanistan, and a well versed and fully supportive member of the board.
Looking forward, Matthew commented, “Next year promises to be a momentous one for the Club - when the new Warner Stand is completed, the refurbishment of the J.P. Morgan Media Centre is finalised and when Lord’s plays host to the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Final.”
This is a hugely prestigious appointment for Matthew, who will continue as the Stonehage Fleming partner leading various activities including our successful Next Gen programme, and developing our Succession proposition. I am sure you will join me in congratulating him and wishing him every success in this role. View MCCs announcement here >>
