Juddmonte have announced the appointment of Ed Sackville in the new position of head of European sales July 7.
Sackville, who already has an existing and long relationship with Juddmonte as an adviser, will be responsible for commercial aspects of the European business, including overall responsibility for the sale of European stallion nominations, working with nominations manager Shane Horan and the rest of the team.
He will continue to work with clients of SackvilleDonald, the agency he runs with Alastair Donald, as an independent breeding adviser.
Douglas Erskine Crum, CEO Juddmonte Group, said: "As we look to expand our stallion roster in Europe, we have identified the need also to expand our nominations team to continue to serve our growing client base to the highest standards.
We have worked for many years with Ed, he is one of the most respected advisers in our industry and has close connections with Juddmonte. All of us in the team look forward to working even more closely with him in future."
Sackville added: "Juddmonte has a long history of racing top-class horses which go on to become world-class stallions. Frankel and Kingman are the epitome of this success, which has been carefully nurtured and developed over 40 years.
"With Frankel's Classic-winning son Chaldean already in the stallion roster and Kingman's Classic-winning son Field Of Gold to follow, Juddmonte's history of standing successful sires looks set to continue. I am hugely excited to be a part of this journey and look forward to working with Shane, his team at Juddmonte, and with breeders throughout Europe."
