“As the event services and media offering of the company has grown, we have been looking to add to the team and I am delighted that we have been able to bring in someone at this level. I have worked with Jenni in her role with Eventing Nation and to have her experience and expertise as part of our team is a huge asset to EquiRatings and our clients. We recently brought Gemma Broad onto the team in New Zealand and have some further appointments in the pipeline. It is exciting to be building a team of this calibre.”

I am delighted to work with such a talented team in this capacity.”
