Essex Women's Cricket x Pitch15

Pitch15 and Essex Cricket are united by a shared belief: that women’s cricket thrives when talent, opportunity, and long-term commercial commitment align.

Through this partnership, we are focused on strengthening the foundations of the women’s programme — increasing visibility, expanding participation pathways, and building a sustainable commercial engine around the team.

Our aim is to help Essex’s women’s and girls’ cricket grow with clarity, confidence, and ambition — on the field, in the community, and for the next generation across the county.

Why We Are Essex

Women’s Cricket Is Growing — and Entering a Defining Moment

Women’s cricket is entering a period of sustained growth. Participation among girls is rising, domestic competitions are attracting larger audiences, and visibility of the women’s game has never been stronger. Across England, women’s cricket is becoming more competitive, more professional, and more culturally relevant — creating both opportunity and responsibility for those shaping its future.

We Are Essex: A Modern Women’s Cricket Programme

We Are Essex represents exactly the kind of women’s programme this moment demands. Built around identity, pride, and community, We Are Essex is more than a team — it is a platform for women’s and girls’ cricket across the county. From grassroots participation to elite performance, the programme reflects a modern, ambitious approach to the women’s game.

Leadership, Identity, and Long-Term Vision

Essex Cricket’s commitment to treating the women’s programme with clarity and intent stood out immediately. Rather than positioning the women’s team as an add-on, Essex has embraced the opportunity to build something distinct — with its own voice, audience, and long-term ambition.

Turning Momentum into Sustainability

At Pitch15, we partner with women’s teams that are ready to grow with purpose. Momentum alone is not enough. Women’s cricket needs dedicated commercial focus to convert rising interest into long-term sustainability. This partnership is designed to strengthen visibility, storytelling, fan engagement, and commercial opportunity around We Are Essex.

Building the Future of Women’s Cricket in Essex

Our role is to support the women’s programme in building lasting strength — not by changing its identity, but by amplifying it. Together with Essex Cricket, we aim to help We Are Essex become a benchmark for women’s cricket at county level: competitive on the field, deeply connected to its community, and built to inspire the next generation across Essex.

Investing in the Professional Pathway

Pitch15 is proud to invest in the LET Access Series — the official development tour for women’s professional golf in Europe.

The LET Access Series plays a critical role in bridging elite amateur golf and the top tier of the women’s professional game. Our investment is focused on strengthening this pathway: supporting tournament infrastructure, improving player earning potential, and creating more sustainable commercial foundations for the next generation of elite athletes.

By backing the LET Access Series, Pitch15 is investing where long-term value is created — at the point where talent, opportunity, and professional progression meet.
