A Note from Adam - May 2012

Now that the climate is changing we are excited to announce a new structure to the Swettenham business. We are very proud to announce David Saegenschnitter (Sagi) as our new Chairman. We believe David will add enormous value to the business after his experience working for the Hayes family. Tim Poole will remain part of the advisory team and his role will be as a Non Executive Director. We would like to thank Ian Rimington for his experience, enthusiasm and passion over the years to the Swettenham team. I certainly learned a lot from him. We would like to wish Ian all the best as he moves on from Swettenham in his future endeavors. I hope he and Sue have a great 6 week cruise around Europe. Very shortly we will be announcing some new faces to the team at Swettenham. Joining them this year is one of Redoute’s Choice fastest sons, Master of Design. We are very excited to have been able to secure him as he boasts that rare combination of multi million dollar looks and group one winning substance. No son of Redoute’s has won more than one group one race and Master of Design is the only one to win in Weight For Age (WFA) company at that level. Our stallion fees will be announced in the coming days. Please don’t forget to call me if you are heading to Ascot and would like to come to Manton on Monday 18th June. Cheers, Adam
