Dowding is a long-serving member of the RMG team who joined as head of partnerships in March 2013. He later became head of B2B and betting director, where he held the role of B2B for more than six years.
Prior to his stint at RMG, Dowding worked at Jockey Club, where he spent time as a sponsorship manager and local sponsorship manager.
He also served as a non-executive director of Boca Sports and has served at RMG for the past three years. 경마사이트
