A TREAT in store for anyone interested in equine art is the new exhibition opening in London by Katie O’Sullivan. Katie is originally from Ireland and had her first show in London over 30 years ago – a runaway success. Today, Katie lives and works in Lambourn, in the heart of English racing country, with her four children and her husband, racehorse trainer and former top jump jockey, Jamie Osborne.

Katie has worked on numerous prestigious commissions and has an extensive list of international, public and private collectors.

Her work is in the collections of the Duke of Edinburgh, Sheikh Mohammed, Sheikh Fahad Al Thani, Lord and Lady Lloyd Webber, John and Sue Magnier, J.P. McManus, David and Diane Nagle and Demi O’Byrne.

The exhibition opens next Tuesday, November 10th and runs until December 4th at the Osborne Studio Gallery, 2 Motcomb Street, London, SW1X 8JU.

Thriving ticketing business

LIAM Holton, the former Punchestown Racecourse sales and marketing director, is making a big impression with his new venture, Future Ticketing.

This tech start-up is not based in Silicon Valley but rather Tullamore in Co Offaly where apparently the local authorities have been very helpful. The company, which employs five people, helps businesses to easily manage digital ticketing and payment processing.

Liam recently told Business Plus magazine that the best piece of business advice he had ever received was from Michael O’Leary who told Liam “the only reason people buy tickets today for something in the future is if the ticket will be more expensive tomorrow or they won’t be there tomorrow’’.
