Thomas Brown, Ambulance Service, Richard Davis Award winner 2025
JETS have played a vital role both during and after my riding career. They gave me the inspiration and guidance to find a new career, the practical support to take the necessary steps, and the encouragement to believe that I had transferable skills to succeed.
Adele Mulrennan, TV Presenter
JETS supported me during and after my riding career with different courses I tried from nail technician training to trainers modules and also media training which helped me when I finally found my feet in the broadcasting side of the industry.
Alan Johns, Media Work, Richard Davis Award winner 2024
The ongoing support from Phil Kinsella in particular has been pivotal in shaping my progress. Phil’s advice has ranged from course recommendations to broader professional guidance, all of which have helped provide me with the skills and confidence to advance my media ambitions. JETS has not only facilitated my training but has also helped me maintain my momentum and continue my progress.
Kathy Begley, Veterinary Medicine undergraduate
JETS has been a constant presence throughout my career – from the very first session on the Apprentice licence course, to annual claimer workshops, drop-ins at Oaksey House and all the way through my career change. Thanks to JETS I am now only a year away from my final Veterinary Medicine exams at Cambridge University – their career guidance as well as emotional and academic support has been invaluable.
Jordan Vaughan, Farrier, Richard Davis Award winner 2022
I’m so proud to have won this Award, all the evenings spent studying, taking part in competitions and practicing in the forge have been worth it. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be here without JETS who have helped fund my courses and make this positive change to my life.
Ollie McPhail, Programme Manager, Racing To School
I use a whole range of skills in my new role that I didn’t have before. JETS helped me develop them, I went on a range of courses which has helped me progress in my new role and get me where I am today.
Mark Bradburne, Electrician
I along with many other jockeys have benefitted from your skill in finding out what we enjoy outside of racing and then finding a sustainable career that we can move on to.
Jemma Varela, East of England Ambulance Service
Thomas has been a fantastic addition to our team in Suffolk. Since joining us, he’s gone from strength to strength, fully embracing both the learning and practical aspects of the role. He’s brought valuable transferable skills from his time in the racing industry as a jockey – particularly strong communication with patients and colleagues, and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
