She brings energy, experience, and a deep understanding of how to run successful racecourses both on racedays and across wider event activity. Her time at Royal Windsor Racecourse proved her ability to build strong teams and deliver fantastic customer experiences. We’re excited to see Bath Racecourse continue to thrive under her leadership."Hannah Chree, Executive Director at Bath Racecourse, added:"It’s a real privilege to take on this role at one of the UK’s most historic and picturesque racecourses. I’m excited to work with the team to further enhance our racedays, while also continuing to grow Bath as a destination for brilliant events all year round. ARC’s ambition to showcase racecourses as versatile venues is something I’m passionate about, and Bath has all the ingredients to deliver on that vision."
