JOHN O’Kelly has been appointed brand ambassador and international representative for Tattersalls, continuing his longstanding association with the company following the conclusion of his auctioneering duties last year.

In this role, O’Kelly will, as before, represent Tattersalls in a variety of ways, including bloodstock inspections, attendance at domestic and international sales and race meetings, and maintaining relationships with existing and prospective clients. O’Kelly said: “In my 34 years as an auctioneer and representing the company, I have built tremendous professional relationships with breeders, vendors and purchasers worldwide, and I look forward to maintaining those connections while further contributing to the success of Tattersalls.”
