Departing British Dressage (BD) chief executive David Holmes received a fond farewell surprise party last week. Some 40 guests attended, including BD chairman Jennie Loriston-Clarke, BD directors, BD staff, BEF staff and British Show Jumping Association (BSJA) chief executive Jacky Wood.
David starts his new job today, 1 September 2008, as the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) executive director of sport based at the FEI's headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, after nine years as BD CEO.
All of us at BD would like to wish him the best of luck in his new job and hope he settles in well in his new home abroad.
Amanda Bond, former deputy principal and equestrian event director of Hartpury College, will take over from David part-time from 29 September and full-time from 9 November.
Amanda is currently working as chief of Paralympic services in Hong Kong.
