The Lifetime in Racing Awards identify those individuals that have made an outstanding contribution to the racing industry throughout their careers.

“I had a great day at York celebrating my 50 years at RaceTech –it just doesn't seem like any time has passed! I'd like to thank British racing, York racecourse and RaceTech for giving me a lovely day, I'm very pleased, happy and chuffed.”

According to Kate Hills, who nominated Paul, “Brian is a highly respected leader and true team player. Always behind the scenes, Brian is one of the unsung heroes who always goes the extra mile in order to deliver at the highest level.”

Also recognised for her contribution to the sport was York Racecourse's Karen Dunbar, who joined the racecourse over 40 years ago.

“Karen is an amazing part of the team, a great ambassador,” said Dunbar's nominator, York racecourse's chief executive and clerk of the course William Derby. “She's got an amazing touch with customers. No problem is too small or too big to be dealt with.”
