Kevin Wheatcroft, Donington Park Racing’s Executive Chairman and circuit owner, recently announced that Christopher Tate is joining the company’s Board of Directors, with immediate effect, and has been appointed Managing Director.
Donington re-opened, under Kevin Wheatcroft’s control, just 14 months ago after the enforced 2009/2010 closure by the previous group. It has enjoyed a busy 2011 season on and off the track, with major international meetings and a schedule of improvements. During this first year, the company has been led by Kevin Wheatcroft and finance director Phil O’Connor, the appointment of Christopher Tate as Managing Director completes the Board.
“This is a further step forward for the company”, said Kevin Wheatcroft, Executive Chairman and son of circuit founder Tom, whose passing exactly 2 years ago this week was remembered at the circuit on Monday 31st. “Christopher and I have known each other for quite a while, and I know we share the same vision of a restored, revived Donington, well positioned to face the challenges we all face right across motorsport, on both 2 and 4 wheels. We are building a strong platform for the future; I’ve been really encouraged by the first full year we’ve had back in charge, and under Christopher’s leadership, look forward to further growth in 2012. Donington is very much back in business!”
