Profile
An ambitious man with a background in cricket management, David Collier became only the second chief executive of the ECB when he was appointed in October 2004. He gained considerable domestic experience at four counties - Essex, Leicestershire, Gloucestershire and Nottinghamshire - before landing the top job, which had been vacated by Tim Lamb in September. A literal high-flyer - he has held a glider pilot's licence since the age of 16 - Collier was a relative unknown when he was chosen to take over at the helm of the ECB. He also has worked in sports marketing, and in the leisure industry for Sema, a Cheshire-based computer-systems company. He's also a hockey referee, and in 2002 played an important part in organising a rescue package which bailed out the England Hockey Association. Jenny Thompson (October 2004)
