Sussex appoint interim chief executive

Sussex finished fourth in County Championship Division One last season

Sussex have appointed Mark West as interim chief executive while they continue their search for a permanent replacement for Pete Fitzboydon.

Fitzboydon announced in August that he would be leaving the club for personal reasons after two seasons in the role.

West is a trustee of the Sussex Cricket Museum and has held senior positions with companies including Breedon Group, Stanley Gibbons Group and Harrods.

He will formally join the club on 20 October.
