Meet the Regional Rep
Every TBA member belongs in one of seven regions, each of which is headed up by a group of volunteer Regional Representatives who work tirelessly to help us promote British breeding.
Over the coming months these pages will feature a number of these representatives so that members can see exactly who their local contact is and who to look out for at various events around the country.
Nick Alexander
One of the Scotland-based Regional Representatives, Nick says “A longstanding member of the TBA, I have owned, bred and trained horses from my farm at Kinneston in Scotland for 30 years. Whilst down to one fourth generation broodmare, I am passionate about how important UK based breeders are, the UK racing industry and I understand the valuable role the TBA plays. I also serve on the Executive Councils of the NFT and Perth Racecourse.”
Philip Bamford
A Regional Representative for the North, Philip says “I am a director and third generation of a family Animal Feed business in the North West of England, and have had a keen interest in horses for most of my adult life, starting with hunting and then owning and breeding Thoroughbreds. I currently own a number of horses on the track with Sir Mark Prescott, David O’Meara, Roger Fell and Tim Easterby. I also have a number of horses with leading trainers in the Western Cape, South Africa.”
Camilla Trotter
“After completing the BHA Graduate programme, I spent five years in France working for the International Racing Bureau followed by the Aga Khan Studs,” says West-based Regional Representative Camilla. “I then returned to England and spent three years with the European Bloodstock News and a further two years with Juddmonte Farms. During this time I started doing part-time pedigree consultancy. I have been working full-time as a Pedigree Consultant for the last four years and clients include Fittocks Stud, Rockcliffe Stud, Stephen Hillen and Ecurie des Monceaux in France. I live in Gloucestershire with my husband, who manages Estcourt Stud for Juddmonte, and our two daughters. We own shares in a couple of mares and their stock, something we both very much enjoy.”
