Richard Forde has been named Newmarket's head of trade sales and partnerships

Forde joined Newmarket in 2010 and said he would leave on a high, with the escorted touring specialist hailing his "instrumental" efforts to build relationships with the trade.


Details of his successor will follow in the coming weeks. Forde will also stand down as chair of trade support organisation Tipto, a position he has held since November 2022.
