Following a relative drought in success, the club's members called a Special General Meeting in 1995.

A change of fortunes soon followed, as Alec Stewart – son of Micky – led the team to the Sunday League title in 1996.

This was the catalyst for further success under the captaincy of Adam Hollioake and the influence of Keith Medlycott, who was county coach from 1997 to 2003.

Benson and Hedges Cup victories in 1997 and 2001 were complemented with County Championship triumphs in 1999, 2000 and 2002, a National League Division Two title in 2000 and the inaugural Twenty20 Cup in 2003.

This was in spite of the tragic death of Hollioake's brother and team-mate Ben Hollioake, who was killed in a car accident in early 2002.

That same year, Ali Brown posted what remains today a world record List A score of 268 against Glamorgan at The Oval, beating Graeme Pollock's former records score in the first of his two one-day double hundreds for Surrey.

Adam Hollioake retired after the 2004 season.
