Dutton Gregory supports Employers

The BGA is delighted to welcome Dutton Gregory Solicitors to join their prestigious set of sponsors. 

Focusing soley on the Employers Zone, Dutton Gregory have been recruited to enhance the advice and support that the BGA gives to those that employ staff. 

Lucy Katan, BGA Executive Director, says, " Our work with employers is exceptionally important to the BGA. We look forward to working with Dutton Gregory to enhance the increasingly popular Employers Zone. 

Employing staff can be a challenge, especially in the equestrian environment, so the more guidance we can give our employers the better."

Mark Broad, Lead Partner at Dutton Gregory Solicitors said, "We are so pleased to be expanding our work in the equestrian field and supporting the efforts of the BGA in its fantastic work promoting the interests of its members.  Employment law is complicated and fast changing and so, if together we can support and inform owners and employers in an accessible way it must follow that the welfare of their employees will improve and that, in turn, those dedicated and loyal staff will champion the owner's business long term.  The partnership between us, the BGA and employers will be a win-win for them, their staff and all concerned."

Great news for employers as the BGA will be able to offer even more support and guidance via the Employers Zone.
