Bruce
Slade will take on the role of Newgate General Manager from 1 June 2017
replacing Sam Fairgray who is leaving the operation to head up leading
Victorian Stud Woodside Park.
Newgate is extremely grateful to Sam for the input he has had into its growth
and development over the last two years. Sam has done an incredible job and we look
forward to working with him in the future, continuing the very close
relationship that has been developed.
The outstanding work that Bruce Slade has done running Newgate's stallion
business over the past few years along with his intimate knowledge of the
thoroughbred industry, make him the ideal candidate to lead the business and
continue its growth into the future.
"Bruce is one of the most talented people I have ever been fortunate
enough to work with and I believe he will be a wonderful leader for Newgate
going forward," said Newgate's founder and part owner Henry Field. "I
believe exceptional people are the key to the success of exceptional businesses
and Bruce is truly one of those people."
"I am very thankful to Sam for all he has done at Newgate in such an
important part of our lifecycle. With talented key management, personnel and
systems in place across all facets of our business I am certain it will be a
seamless transition, and I could not be more confident about the future of
Newgate with Bruce at the helm," said Field.
