The Jockey Club has announced that Richard Fuller will join its board of stewards for 2025 – a role equivalent to that of non-executive director.

A member of The Jockey Club since 2019, Fuller is also chair at Kempton Park racecourse as well as being a board director of pub and hotel operator, Fuller Smith and Turner PLC. He is also Chairman of the Point-to-Point Racing Company,  a trustee of the Wavertree Education Trust, chairman of the Cotswold Cider Company and a former Chairman of the Point-to-Point Owners and Riders Association. His wife Charlotte trains jumpers while daughter Page is a jump jockey. 

The Board of Stewards from January 2025 will be:

Baroness Harding of Winscombe (senior steward)
The Lord Grimthorpe (deputy senior steward)
Mr Richard Fuller
Mr Wiliam Rucker
Mr William Sporborg
Mr Tim Syder
Mr Sam Waley-Cohen
Lady Carolyn Warren
Mr William Wyatt

The Jockey Club has also elected five new members in owner-breeders Emma Banks and Jayne McGivern, Nottingham racecourse chair Jeremy Bradbeer, Racing Welfare trustee Johnny Eddis, and Matthew Lohn, chair of Newmarket Racecourses. 

Commenting on the appointments, Baroness Harding, senior steward of the Jockey Club, said, “We are delighted to announce the election of five new members of The Jockey Club. They all bring them with them a wealth of experience from the wider world as well as a keen interest and involvement in the sport of horseracing.

“It is also fantastic to be welcoming Richard Fuller to the board of stewards from the start of next year. His extensive involvement with Kempton Park over the past few years has been hugely valued and with a strong background in the hospitality sector and racing he will prove a great addition to the board.”
