The Jockey Club, Britain s largest commercial racetrack operator, has promoted finance chief Nevin Truesdale to the position of group chief executive, effective 1 January, 2021.
Truesdale has served as acting chief executive since late August, after previous CEO Delia Bushell was forced to step down from the role.
In the role on an interim basis he oversaw a major internal reorganisation, as part of the Jockey Club’s implementation of a new strategy in response to the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
His tenure to date has also covered the resumption of racing behind closed doors, and the return of up to 2,000 spectators in Tier 2 locations across England.
