ADVERTISING FEATURE
with us to increase brand exposure , entertain clients , reward staff , or utilise our venue space to host meetings . There are so many ways in which a business can utilise what we have on offer and Bath Racecourse should be somewhere that the key businesses of the city all have a presence .
We have a host of sponsorship opportunities available which can showcase a company or brand to our 50,000 attendees each year , and also nationally and internationally through our races which get broadcast around the world .
What is your biggest challenge ? Our biggest challenge will probably be standing out in a competitive market place . Against the backdrop of a costof-living crisis , we understand that we need to deliver when people do decide to join us , which is why offering value for money has been such a driver with our pricing structure this year .
We understand that there are a host of sport and leisure activities in the local area and as a result , we need to stand out from the crowd and make a day at the races a really special experience .
What are you looking forward to most this year ? I am really looking forward to the season starting , getting stuck in and welcoming people through the door . From mid-
May until mid-September we race almost every week so it will be a real whirlwind .
Whilst they come with challenges , busy schedules help to build a massive bond between the team here . I have no doubt we will look back on the season in October and be immensely proud of the fantastic effort put in and what we have delivered .
What do you love most about racing ? I fell in love with the sport when I was a teenager . The atmosphere at the races and the ability to get up close to the participants of the sport , equine and human , is like no other .
You can have experiences at a racecourse that are incomparable with other sports given the proximity to the action and nothing beats the rush of seeing your horse winning ! I would implore anyone who hasn ’ t been racing before to go along as it is an incredible place to network and do business in a relaxed environment , or to socialise with friends and family .
If The Business Exchange could help you share one message , what would it be ? The one message I think I would share would be to come and experience horse racing if you haven ’ t . It is a phenomenal day out and Bath Racecourse doubles up as a fantastic place to utilise for business . I am keen to work and collaborate with as many local businesses as possible so please do reach out and get in touch .
