Richardson to stand down in September

By Richard Latham

Gloucestershire chief executive Tom Richardson will be leaving the club at the beginning of September after 12 years in the job. He said: “It is a logical break point as we aim to have completed the development of the pavilion and media centre at the end of July.
 
"I have hugely enjoyed my time at Gloucestershire and feel privileged to have been involved for so long. Clearly getting started on the ground development has been a major lift for the club and I am really pleased to have played a full part in that.
 
"There is a real buzz about the place at the moment and, while in some ways it will be sad not to be involved next year, it is time for me to move on. That said, there is a lot to achieve in order to be ready for both the coming season and the opening of the pavilion and I am really looking forward to doing all of that.”
 
Gloucestershire chairman Rex Body said: "“We are very sorry to see Tom go and greatly appreciate everything he has done for us during his time with the club.
 
"We do, however, fully understand his reasons for going at this time. Tom’s value to Gloucestershire cannot be overestimated, particularly the work he has done on our ground development programme, in at times extremely difficult circumstances.

"I am extremely grateful to Tom for all that he has achieved for us and I have enjoyed working with him during my years on the executive board and as chairman."
 
Richardson will take on a role with Gloucestershire's Youth Trust when he leaves his current post.
