I have been with Arena Racing Company for nearly eight years and started my career with them as Catering General Manager at Uttoxeter Racecourse. Throughout my years at Uttoxeter Racecourse I was able to also take on the responsibility of managing the operations and health & safety on site. As part of my additional responsibility ARC paid for me to train and qualify as a Safety Officer. Since becoming a Safety Officer I have supported the group at a variety of sites.
From Catering & Operations Manager at Uttoxeter Racecourse I became General Manager of Perry Barr Greyhound Stadium. This was a new site to ARC so required me to implement all standard operating practices and procedures that are used across all ARC estates. From being General Manager of a Greyhound Stadium gave me a great understanding of the sport and also gave me the opportunity to mentor another General Manager of another Greyhound Stadium.
Since Perry Barr I have been promoted to General Manager of Wolverhampton Racecourse. The career progression and support from ARC has been invaluable to my own personal development and has enabled me to grow within the group and I feel I am a valued knowledgeable member of the senior management team of ARC. Without the support and training then this would not have been achievable.
