A BIG hitter at the Rose Bowl has joined Hampshire IT company Taylor Made.

Former managing director Glenn Delve spent more than six years at the helm of Hampshire Cricket, overseeing the ground’s £45m expansion plans.

He will now join Fareham-based Taylor Made as a consultant to help with the strategic development of the business.

Taylor Made managing director Nigel Taylor said: “Glenn is a winner. He has a fantastic track record at the Rose Bowl, pushing through huge changes at every level of the organisation.

“The fast pace of the IT industry means we are constantly having to adapt to stay ahead of the competition and Glenn’s experience is going to give us a significant advantage.”

Glenn said: “We want to be in the very top echelon of managed service providers in the UK and Taylor Made is already well positioned to achieve this. The goals are ambitious but realistic and I am tremendously excited to be helping achieve them.”
