The British Bloodstock Marketing Team
British Bloodstock Marketing (BBM) has evolved from the British Bloodstock Marketing Group (BBMG) which was orignially created by the British Horseracing Board (now Authority) in 1994. Today, the BBM Committee consists of representatives from the British Horseracing Authority, Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association, Tattersalls, Doncaster Bloodstock Sales, the Federation of Bloodstock Agents, and Weatherbys.

In August 2007, the BBM Committee recruited Anna Pinnington as a full time employee dedicated to the promotion of the British Racing and Breeding Industry. In July 2008, Gavin Pritichard-Gordon and Desna Tatler joined Anna from the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association to form a team of three solely focused on this objective.
