Keith Young Board Member

Although he now lives in Glasgow’s south side and is a member of Poloc Cricket Club, Keith’s origins lie in Tayside where he played cricket as a youngster at both Forfarshire and Dundee High School FP.  After a break of more than fifteen years from the game, Keith joined Poloc in 2002 and describes himself first and foremost as a cricket enthusiast with a particular interest in the development of youth cricket.  He has played a part in the re-launch of a thriving junior section at Poloc where he is currently Junior Convenor and a General Committee member.  The club has established an innovative Academy, and operates much of its community work in conjunction with the Community Coaching Initiative ("CCI"), a registered charity set up in 2007 to provide cricket coaching in the club's local area.  In addition to his roles at Poloc and as a Trustee of the CCI, Keith is currently Vice-Chairman of Cricket Scotland Development Trust, Chairman of the West District Junior Cricket Union, a member of the West District Cricket Union Executive Committee, and a member of the Western Academy Management Board.

A Chartered Accountant by profession, Keith is Chief Executive of Murgitroyd Group PLC, the publicly-quoted Intellectual Property specialists and sponsors of the national club Twenty20 competition.  He also sits on the Stock Exchange's Regional Advisory Committee.
