About Our Client
The Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB) is an independently audited body accredited by UKAS. Established in 2009, GBGB replaced the British Greyhound Racing Board and the National Greyhound Racing Club to become a single regulatory body for the sport.
Greyhound racing is an important part of the British sporting landscape and tradition, which has proved resilient to many challenges. As the industry continues to invest in the future of the sport, it delivers economic benefits across Britain. GBGB's role is to safeguard the integrity and future prosperity of British greyhound racing so that it remains a successful and sustainable sport with welfare at its heart. GBGB oversee 19 stadia across the country and ensure each race is run fairly and cleanly. They are also responsible for regulating the welfare and care of all racing greyhounds – from registration to retirement. They are staffed by world–leading experts including veterinary surgeons, academics and animal welfare specialists all of whom love and care for greyhounds, putting them centre–stage in all they do. GBGB's work over the last decade has seen huge advances in the welfare and care of their greyhounds. Looking to the future, it is essential that British Greyhound Racing and the Betting sector work together more closely to ensure a more equitable financial reinvestment into the sport.Job Description
