Allison Sedgwick has joined Kia Ora Stud as Head of Sales.
Sedgewick has spent 11 years at Darley, working most recently in nominations, while she has worked in Kentucky, South Africa and France.
"I am thrilled to join the Kia Ora team during such an exciting time for the farm," said Sedgwick.
"I look forward to working closely with our clients and being part of the promising future ahead with Kia Ora’s young roster of stallions and the stud’s impressive bloodstock portfolio."
Kia Ora duo Farnan and Prague will have their first two-year-old runners in the new racing season, while Captivant will have his first yearlings.
“It is fantastic for us to be able to add someone with Allison’s experience, reputation and integrity to the team,” Steve McCann, Chairman of Kia Ora Estates, said.
“Great people are the key to this industry and we think Allison not only brings capability but will also help mould the sort of culture and passion within Kia Ora and in our partnership with Vinery that will underpin our long-term success.”
