Simon Cox joins TBA Board of Trustees

The Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association has today announced a new appointment to its Board of Trustees. Simon Cox, current President and Chief Executive Officer of Molson Coors EMEA & APAC, a brewing and beverage business of circa €2 billion turnover and 6,500 employees, has joined the board as a co-opted member.  

A member of the TBA’s National Hunt Committee, Cox has spent 32 years in the brewing industry, including roles in China, Denmark and Vietnam. A member of the board of the Professional Jockeys Association, he has owned jump horses for a decade and currently has horses in training with Ian Williams. More recently, Cox has expanded his interests into thoroughbred breeding and has mares stationed at Shade Oak Stud, also home to Logician, of whom he is a shareholder in.  

Married to Louise and a father of three, outside of racing Cox is a passionate follower of Liverpool Football Club and a keen traveler who will be trying to add to the over 50 countries he has visited in the coming years. 

Simon Cox said: "I'm first and foremost a passionate racing fan and over the last decade have deepened my involvement in racing through owning and breeding National Hunt racehorses. I'm delighted to join the board of trustees of the TBA and am really looking forward to supporting the ongoing growth and health of the breeding industry. I want to continue to learn about the wider industry but I hope my knowledge of jump racing and my business experience will be of use to the team from the start.”
