Mark Beazley to steer the organisation through its next phase.
The Kennel Club has announced the appointment of Mark Beazley, who was previously Cats Protection's director of operations, as chief executive. Mark replaces Rosemary Smart, who stepped down from the role in April after 18 years.
Mark has held several senior strategic and executive roles, including executive director at Dogs Trust Ireland and chair of the Companion Animal Working Group at Eurogroup for Animals. He was also heavily involved in the establishment of the Eu Cat and Dog Alliance.
Mark said: "I am absolutely delighted to be joining The Kennel Club as its next chief executive. The Club carries out hugely valuable work from world-class events such as Crufts through to its positive contributions to improving breeding. I’m also particularly passionate about its work dedicated to protecting and promoting the health and welfare of all dogs through lobbying and education and its focus on the next generation of dog owners."
Mark will take up his new role in October.
