Bath Racecourse staff member takes mentoring role

Bath Racecourse’s Emily Dinning has been appointed mentoring lead for Women in Racing.

Emily, who works as a business co-ordinator at Bath Racecourse, will oversee the organisation’s mentoring programme, managing applications and pairing mentees with mentors from across the industry.

She joined the racecourse four years ago as a university intern and now plays a key role supporting the initiative aimed at developing women’s careers in horse racing.

Emily said: “I thought it was a really good opportunity to network, meet new people within the industry and help young women progress their professional development.

“There may have been an image in the past that it wasn’t an industry for women, but that has not been my experience at all.

“Everyone in the industry has been so welcoming. 

“Men and women are treated the same, absolutely. 

“Everyone just wants to teach you and help you develop.

“Women in Racing is such a powerful network of women who are absolutely smashing it in their careers. 

“It’s really inspiring to be part of.”

Women in Racing was established in 2009 to connect women across the sport, providing development opportunities and helping to improve career pathways throughout the industry.
