The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) can confirm that its Head of Communications, Paul Struthers, will be leaving the organisation today, Friday 18th November.

Paul has worked for the governing and regulatory bodies of horseracing for almost eleven years. Having joined the then British Horseracing Board (BHB) in 2001 he has worked across a variety of marketing, PR and media roles for BHB, the Jockey Club and the BHA. He assumed his current Head of Communications role in February 2010.

Paul Roy, Chairman of the British Horseracing Authority, said:

“Paul has made a significant contribution to the BHA and Racing generally, but decided that it is the right time for him to move on and seek a new challenge. On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Paul for his efforts. We wish him well for the future.”

Paul Struthers said:

“I have worked for and been committed to the governing and regulatory bodies in Racing now for nearly 11 years and feel that it is time for me to move on to the next step in my career, which I hope will continue to be within the sport. I would like to thank everyone I’ve worked with, both at the BHA and within racing, and hope to renew acquaintances in new challenges.”
