Further to the statement that Kathryn Mansfield, Kennel Club Secretary will be leaving The Kennel Club in December, it has been announced that, to ensure that The Kennel Club continues to manage business as smoothly as possible, Mark Beazley, Chief Executive will assume the title of Secretary of The Kennel Club, on an interim basis when Kathryn retires.

The Kennel Club Board has re-elected Tony Allcock OBE as The Kennel Club Chairman with Paul Eardley newly appointed as Kennel Club Vice-Chairman.

The previous Vice-Chairman, Dr Ian Gabriel, was thanked by the Board for his valuable contribution since 2019. Tony Allcock OBE said: “Ian has been a great asset to the board in his role as vice-chair. However, we appreciate that due to his professional commitments, Ian feels that he is unable to carry on such a leadership role. We are grateful that Ian will still remain on the Board as we benefit greatly from his expertise.”

The Kennel Club has announced that the new Find a Rescue service is now available on The Kennel Club website, and apologises for the delay in relaunching this popular service, which has undergone detailed development.

The new Find a Rescue service includes the contact details of co-ordinators and area representatives for each breed rescue and an ‘about us’ section which will contain further information about each rescue and links to websites as supplied by the individual organisations. 

The Kennel Club held its first AGM in person since 2019 on 14 June 2022 at the Curzon Mayfair Cinema, London.
