Wendy Binney

Within my current job as well as managing 30 apprentices, I am responsible for ensuring all the equine students are BHS members, organising their exam entries and monitoring progress. I am highly organised and able to communicate at any level, liaising with employers, students, external bodies and the heads of faculty on a regular basis. I also organise and run the inter college competitions, training events throughout the year and support a number of volunteers / temporary staff.

With knowledge gained working in the equine industry for over 20 years and my own experience’s competing in all 3 disciplines I feel that I have a good all round knowledge and skills to succeed.With my experience and qualifications, I am looking for a role that provides me with a new focus and that will present new challenges. I believe working for British Eventing would do exactly that. To effectively achieve high standards, I believe you need to be part of an establishment that is striving for the same aims, goals and ambitions.

I am a fast learner with excellent communication and organisation skills, I have a fine eye for detail. I can take on the responsibility of this position, and have the enthusiasm and determination to ensure that I make a success of it.
