Absorbine is pleased to announce its
support of The British Grooms Association (BGA) equestrian employment
survey. The survey has been set up to help unveil the truth behind employment
trends within the sector. As the professional membership association which
represents the career interests of grooms, the BGA is urging all those who work
with horses to come forward and have their say.
Two surveys, one targeted at grooms and the other to employers, have
been compiled with the combined expertise of Georgina Brooke-Holmes of Coventry
University and Sport England in partnership with BGA. Participants can opt to
submit their answers anonymously to ensure that a true picture is generated.
Absorbine has generously donated two luxury hampers of their grooming and
horse care products including world renowned ShowSheen and products from their
Hooflex hoof care and muscle care ranges.
One hamper will be won by a participant in the grooms survey and the
other by a participant in the employers survey.
There is also the opportunity for respondents to win a £100 cash prize.
Absorbine’s European marketing manager, Rachael Holdsworth said, “We are
incredibly proud to support such a worthwhile survey, an extension of the long
term support we have offered to the British Grooms Association over the past
few years. The information will be invaluable to the BGA in taking further
their excellent work supporting British grooms”.
Lucy Katan, Executive Director of the BGA, explained, “We are calling
for grooms and employers to fill in our anonymous surveys to help us to build a
realistic picture of the employment practices that are occurring right now.
There have been several headlines about grooms and employers recently all of
which raise concerning issues. For the BGA to make a real difference to the
working lives of both grooms and employers we must first discover the real
facts.”
Andrew Finding, Chief Executive of the British Equestrian Federation,
commented: “We are pleased that the BGA is taking on this research project.
Once again it demonstrates that they are leading the industry in this crucial
area of work. We urge all of those that work with horses, either as a groom or
an employer, to take time to fill in a survey.”
