A keen cricket supporter: "My Dad would be so thrilled to know that I'm now working with his hero, John Crawley!", Kim has taken over responsibility for promoting all advertising, hospitality and conference opportunities within The Rose Bowl complex.
"Whilst there are obviously some similarities with my work at the Football Club, I definitely see this new role as a great challenge and a real opportunity." said Kim. "Particularly since this season's fantastic fixtures include the One-Day International, the fast and furious Twenty20 matches and of course the ever-popular Day/Night game."
A love of cricket has been in Kim's family for as long as she can remember; her father having played for the Brockenhurst team whilst her mother was renowned for her scoring and excellent match teas!
"Obviously, after such a long time, leaving the football club was a wrench but everyone at The Rose Bowl has made me feel so welcome and this really is a fantastic opportunity. I am looking forward to spreading the word about The Rose Bowl's outstanding facilities which are definitely some of the best in the South."
Nick Pike, managing director at The Rose Bowl added: "Kim's enthusiasm and attention to detail are well-known and highly regarded within the Southampton business community and we are delighted that she has joined our marketing team prior to the beginning of a very exciting season."
