Enticknap Becomes Director of Strategy and Change at BHA

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has announced the promotion of Alison Enticknap, Interim Director of Communications and Corporate Affairs, to the newly created role of Director of Strategy and Change.

The appointment comes recently after the BHA, Racecourse Association (RCA), and Thoroughbred Group (TG) agreed to work together on developing a new industry strategy.

The BHA is creating a new Strategy and Change department after discussions related to the sport’s governance structures and a structural review.
