BBA Shipping’s Crew

Kevin joined the British Bloodstock Agency in 1988 after graduating from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, and has been Director of BBA Shipping & Transport since 2001. Whilst he is principally responsible for the Hong Kong Jockey Club, India and South Africa operations, he also oversees the company’s shipments to and from the rest of the world. In Kevin’s spare time he enjoys his Classic cars and country sports. He is married to Leanne and has two daughters, Clara and Tory.

Cathy joined BBA Shipping in July 2012, with a wide and varied background in the accounting world dating back 12 years and gaining AAT qualifications along the way. She has experience in working with client accounts, big and small, and looks forward to building a good rapport with our existing and future customers and suppliers. Originally from Northern Ireland, Cathy has now settled in Soham after a brief career break to bring up her family. Cathy has a keen interest in racing and is actively involved in her children’s riding clubs.

Angie joined BBA Shipping & Transport in April 2022 as an administration assistant, having worked in racing since leaving school. She started work in Newmarket as a rider, then travelled abroad to work in France and the Macau Jockey Club, staying for a total of 17 years. During this time, she travelled racehorses back and forth from Macau to the Dubai Racing Carnival. She fell in love with Dubai and stayed on to become a racing secretary. After spending another two years there she decided to come home to spend quality time with family and get married. She enjoys spending time walking her dog and loves going racing.

Sandra has worked for the BBA since 1994. Having grown up around thoroughbreds, it was inevitable that Sandra would pursue a career in the bloodstock industry. She initially joined the BBA to work in the pedigree department, and as a secretary in the bloodstock section gained substantial knowledge of the racing industry. When moving to the BBA Shipping department in 2001, Sandra became responsible for the European imports and exports and the road haulage operation. Sandra has been involved in the shipping of numerous winners, both flat and National Hunt, all over Europe.

Sarah joined BBA Shipping in October 2021. After graduating with an honours degree in Equine Science from the University of Limerick, Sarah spent time working on several different stud farms in Ireland. She then moved to Kentucky to work for one of the largest stud farms in the US. She remained in Kentucky for over three years, gaining valuable experience.

Sarah decided to move to the UK in 2016 to take a management role in a thoroughbred farm, with responsibility for overseeing all stud operations. Having developed a strong interest in transport logistics, she decided to join the BBA team, bringing with her a substantial amount of practical knowledge. Sarah enjoys all equine disciplines but follows racing closely.
