Nevin Truesdale is expected to step down from his role as group chief executive at The Jockey Club at the end of 2024, having asked the board of stewards to start the process of finding his successor.
Truesdale, who spoke to TDN in a recent interview, joined The Jockey Club in 2013 and was appointed as the organisation's permanent group chief executive from the start of 2021, having served in an acting capacity since Delia Bushell resigned the previous August.
He was tasked with navigating the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis, while more recently he helped lead the petition to Parliament against betting affordability checks, which gained over 100,000 signatures and led to a debate on the matter.
“The Jockey Club has a unique role; being run solely to invest the money it makes back into our sport,” said Truesdale. “It has been a true privilege and my career highlight to work for and then lead this organisation over the past 11 years.
“Together we have laid strong foundations for the future which will enable my successor to continue to grow The Jockey Club and ensure it continues to invest for the benefit of our sport and the communities it serves.”
