John Gilbert's professional career started as a Data Analyst and quickly progressed to owning a commercial cleaning business in the heart of East Anglia. Not long afterwards John was asked to join The Racing Centre as centre manager to and implement change to save the charity.
The Charity was established to help support racing and the wider Newmarket community. In the time John has been involved with the charity it has managed to reduce its deficit of £156k in a quarter and has now become a leader in community matters. The charity has become dementia friendly and received awards (Bronze) from the Green Tourism board. They have also started delivering computer courses (fully funded) at the centre and will develop these throughout the year to come. The charity recently hosted two South African jockeys for a training session and hopefully have developed their fitness and technique to give them the competitive advantage back in SA.
