Jane Holderness-Roddam, CVO, CBE
“A huge well done to everyone who was nominated, who made the shortlist, and of course, the winners,” said Claire Williams, Executive Director of BETA. “All winners are true assets to our industry and trade. Of course, no one person exemplifies this more than the winner of the BETA Lifetime Achievement Award 2026, BETA President Jane Holderness-Roddam. We will be forever indebted to Jane for her work across every aspect of the equestrian industry, and with BETA particularly, where she’s been a constant, loyal support for members of the trade, the BETA team, and myself for nearly 25 years.”
BETA’s Gala Dinner Charity was the Riding for the Disabled Association. The amount of money raised for the charity during the evening will be released in due course.
