Goffs is delighted to announce the appointment of Amanda Zetterholm to the role of French Agent.
Amanda has held a number of roles with H.H. Aga Khan Studs in France since 2012 including client relations, nominations and most recently as assistant to the racing manager. She also previously worked with leading jumps trainer David Cottin in Chantilly and is a former assistant to trainer Mike De Kock.
Announcing the appointment, Goffs Group Chief Executive Henry Beeby said:
“We are delighted to welcome Amanda to the Goffs team. Her experience and network of clients further strengthens our roster of international agents and follows the recent appointments of Jacob West and Mark Richards as US and British Agents respectively.
Amanda’s focus will be on converting the increasing interest in Irish sales from France into greater attendance by French buyers at Kildare Paddocks, primarily for the Orby and November Sales as well as promoting our flagship National Hunt sales.
We would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of Gavin Hernon over the last number of years as our French agent and wish him further success in his burgeoning training career”.
Amanda Zetterholm added:
“Goffs has a superb reputation in France for producing top class results and the quality of their service. Recent Orby Sale graduates illustrate the point featuring Group 1 winners Channel, Gear Up and Technician to name just three, while November Foal Sale topper Reina Madre looks a real Classic contender this season - and so it is no surprise that interest in Goffs is on the rise amongst French buyers.
I look forward to being part of the customer focussed team in Goffs and promoting the top class catalogues to owners, trainers and agents in France before assisting with their visits to Kildare”.
Amanda will commence her new role on 1st May.
