David Brown
A batting all-rounder, David Brown played 24 first-class matches and 73 List A and T20 games during his county cricket career. Born and bred in Burnley, Lancashire, he came through the ranks at Burnley CC before going on to represent Lancashire junior sides and the county’s 2nd XI.
David embarked on a degree at Durham University and benefitted from the University Centre of Cricketing Excellence (UCCE) scheme, which allowed him to continue his education while further developing his cricket. After graduating he was signed by Gloucestershire CCC, before moving to Glamorgan CCC.
After moving away from a career in cricket in 2011, David was accepted on to the graduate scheme at Deloitte, where he completed his Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification and worked within the company’s audit services. He continued to represent Burnley CC in the Lancashire League until 2018.
David has subsequently held positions at a variety of firms, including corporate finance and finance director roles, and completed the Global Executive MBA from Alliance Manchester Business School in July 2023. That same month, he joined Leonard Curtis as CFO/COO before splitting the roles and becoming COO in January 2025. In his current position, he is playing a key part in the next stage of the company’s growth, including its M&A strategy.
