In this podcast season, curated in partnership with Somerset Chamber of Commerce, hgkc are exploring Somerset with prominent business leaders who have made their lives and their careers in the county. In this episode, Peter Quintana speaks to Jamie Cox, Tasmanian born cricketer who captained Somerset County Cricket Club in the early 2000s, then returned after the pandemic to become Chief Executive Officer.
Jamie’s passion for cricket comes through loud and clear, but so does his deep connection with his adopted county. He has visionary plans for the development of the club – on and off the field – setting out an ambitious plan for the development of the County Ground in Taunton as a venue offering more than cricket, whilst still firmly anchored in what he describes as ‘the main thing’ – cricket.
He is proud that many of Somerset’s players – men and women – are local and wants to tap into the stories that can be told about their successes as a way of inspiring and lifting the mood of the people who live and work in the county.
