Dr Caroline Scott has been appointed as the new finance director at Tattersalls, it was announced on Wednesday.
Scott is a chartered accountant and has been head of finance at Tattersalls since 2023, having first joined the sales organisation in 2006 as the assistant financial controller. In addition to her new role as finance director, Scott has been appointed as company secretary and her appointment also holds significance as the first woman to join the Tattersalls board in its 258-year history.
Besides her longstanding role at Tattersalls, Scott's broad engagement with racing and bloodstock has included success as an amateur jockey and owner/breeder. She is also a Doctor of equine physiology.
“It is an enormous privilege to be appointed as finance director of Tattersalls,” said Scott. “Having joined the company back in October 2006, I have enjoyed my time working in various roles within the finance department which have allowed me to gain a thorough understanding of Tattersalls and the industry it serves.
“My wider industry experience as an amateur jockey, a doctor in equine physiology and an active owner/breeder will also serve me well in my new role and I am looking forward to embracing the challenges that come with this appointment.”
Tattersalls chairman Edmond Mahony added, “Caroline Scott has been a key member of the Tattersalls finance team for many years and has a profound understanding not only of the Tattersalls ethos, but also the international bloodstock industry. She brings a wealth of experience to the role of finance director and will be a valuable addition to the Tattersalls board.”
