Bio
Matthew Legg
Sam is a fantastic operator who has extensive experience when it comes to Media & Press Operations. His knowledge and relationships within the cricket industry have been a huge asset to the ECB team this summer. He is extremely collaborative and approachable. I look forward to working with Sam again in future seasons.
Ben Walker
I've had the pleasure of working with Sam a number of times over the years including his time at Sussex and as Media Manager of the Oval Invincibles. Sam is an incredibly knowledgeable and personable comms professional. He has a incredible can-do attitude and is very adept at thinking on his feet and finding solutions at short notice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
John Overton
I had the pleasure of working alongside Sam in his role as Media Manager for the Oval Invincibles. He fitted seamlessly into the team from day one, working closely with both players and staff from both Women’s and Men’s teams. His ability to form relationships with players was evident from an early stage, and he became a trusted member of the support staff ensuring that the players’ media commitments were handled without issue across the tournament. He also displayed his ability to work under pressure, managing multiple stakeholders on matchdays and ensuring that players and staff could focus on their preparation. Looking forward to working together again in the future Sam!
