The Goodwood Estate has appointed Adam Waterworth as the Group's new chief executive officer, it was announced on Monday.
Waterworth has served in senior roles at Goodwood since joining in 2010, most recently as the events managing director, where he broadened his remit from horseracing to include all of the estate's headline events in 2020. Prior to Goodwood, he held various positions across a number of UK racecourses.
The appointment is effective from Tuesday, October 1 as Waterworth takes over from Chris Woodgate, who has held the position for seven years.
“It is an honour to become Goodwood's CEO and lead the organisation into its next chapter,” said Waterworth. “As we plan for the future, we can draw from over 300 years of heritage and history, and I'm proud to have such a strong team with me as we continue to develop and host amazing experiences for our customers, fans and partners.”
The Duke of Richmond CBE DL, executive chairman of the Goodwood Estate, added, “I am delighted that Adam will become our new CEO in October, bringing his assured leadership and track record of performance and delivery to the role. We have an exciting future ahead of us at Goodwood and I look forward to working closely with Adam as we affirm our long-term plans and opportunities in the coming months.”
