The Federation of Bloodstock Agents (FBA) has announced that secretary general Andrew Mead has decided to stand down after being in office for more than 20 years. He will be replaced in this role by former Thoroughbred Breeders' Association chief executive Louise Kemble.
FBA chairman Oliver St Lawrence said, “Andrew has worked tirelessly in support of the federation, and the council is indebted to him as he leaves the FBA in good financial health and order. In advance of the FBA AGM on Thursday, 3 May, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank him on behalf of the members for all his support and to welcome his successor Louise Kemble.”
Kemble, who now runs The Elms Stud in Northampton, will provide part-time administrative support for the FBA, which has also welcomed new council member Matt Coleman of Stroud Coleman Bloodstock, who has been co-opted to the board in place of Mead.
“Matt's knowledge of Flat and National Hunt racing and breeding makes him ideally suited to ensuring the council retains its balanced representation,” added St Lawrence.
