ABRS AND BGA WORKING TOGETHER

2nd March 2015
News Article Image

The BGA is pleased to announce a new working partnership with the Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS).

“It is important that employers understand their responsibilities when employing staff. The ABRS have over 300 members, the majority who are employers and so this working partnership is great news.  We hope all ABRS members purchase access to the Employers Zone; for just £29.50 they can ensure that they are protecting their business and employing within the law,” explained BGA Executive Director, Lucy Katan.

ABRS Vice Chair, Hannah Mays, says, “The ABRS are very pleased to have this new association with BGA. Proprietors are delighted to be able to take advantage of the ‘employers’ pages on the BGA website, and see us working together in the future which can only benefit our proprietors and their staff and grooms.”
