In addition, he was asked to represent the First Class Academies on the ECB High Performance Group based at Loughborough.He is currently Chairman of Mattia Group , a Property Development and Performance Management Company, and a Partner in the M5 Sports Management Group, with a particular interest in advising cricketers before ,during and after their playing careers. Andy Flower (Former England Team Director) once said...... "When we worked together at Oxford University and Warwickshire, Roger's cricket knowledge and man management skills ensured our success and enjoyment. These qualities are founded on an openness and honesty not often seen in any walk of life and will in my view always guarantee a positive influence on individuals and teams he is working with."
