Supporting British Racing – The Jockey Club Annual Review

The Jockey Club

UNLOCKING OUR PEOPLE’S POTENTIAL Another area we must continue to invest in is our people. The Jockey Club employs more than 600 people across a range of permanent and fixed-term roles. Each year, these people are supported by more than 10,000 temporary raceday staff. We endeavour to support and promote the career progress of our people, and hold Investors in People Accreditation for both Jockey Club Racecourses and Jockey Club Estates. Throughout the Group there are numerous examples of progression into specialist and management positions, including to Board level. Among permanent employees, 30% have worked for us for 10 years or more. We are proud of our loyal

workforce, which we attribute to our culture, clear purpose and ongoing commitment to the training and development of our people. DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION Also on the topic of people, for British Racing to build relevance with future generations to encourage them to become fans of our sport or members of our workforce, we must appeal to people of all backgrounds, ages, gender identities, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations and physical, mental, economic and social circumstances. Horseracing must be a sport for all and I welcome the work underway in this area within our sport. We already have much

to be proud of, including a better gender balance
