He subsequently returned to the role of Chief Executive in January 2024.

She worked for Juddmonte for 24 years, responsible for their European finances before joining the Injured Jockeys Fund as their Director of Finance in 2019. She joined JETS as a Trustee in 2022 representing the IJF, one of the major funders of JETS.

Page Fuller

Page is a former Jump jockey who won two Amateur Jockey championships before pursuing a professional career for 5 years. She spent 4 and a half years on the PJA board during this time but then had to reassess her career options after a culmination of head injuries. Luckily this transition was made easier through engagement with JETS and she is now looking forward to helping more jockeys to do the same through her involvement with the charity.
