“Women in Racing has worked with the team at Simply Racing over the last year on our ‘Racing Home’ project, from conception to initialisation the team have been invaluable in providing experience and guidance to ensure that the objectives that we have as an organisation for the project are met. It has been a pleasure to work with each member of the team, who have all bought their individual experience from across the horseracing industry and outside of it to ensure that we bring our vision to fruition and that we deliver on our goals for the members of Women in Racing.”.

She was constantly on hand to provide support and reassurance. Plainly, she cares and is passionate about the people she works with - her goal is simply to make others successful
