2025 ROA Elections

Voting for this year’s ROA Board Elections is now live and has attracted strong interest, with 13 candidates standing for election. The three successful candidates, as voted for by ROA members will go forward to join the ROA Board post the AGM 2025. 

The skill set demonstrated across all candidates provides a significant opportunity to drive change across the ROA and the wider Industry.  Ensuring that the shared ambitions demonstrated within the candidates manifestos can be enacted to provide owners with a stronger, unified voice that reflects the direct challenges being encountered in British Racing today.  The Board plays a vital leadership role within racing, ensuring all owners’ perspectives are represented at every level, with much of this work carried forward through our committee representation and desire to deliver innovative ways of operating which complement the continuity of industry knowledge.
