FINDING myself based in Kildare with an office in Leominster, a not insignificant drive from Birmingham Airport, and sales venues at Ascot and Cheltenham, has its challenges.

As Tattersalls Ireland run these sales we obviously have key personnel assisting on sales days. The Tattersalls Newmarket team have the geographical advantage of not having to cross the Irish Sea so are also called upon for resources and this adds to the Ascot Cheltenham team of Richard Botterill, Dawn Thomas and Matt Hall. We further welcome some casual staff to assist which ensures there is quite a bit of organising.
