ITV newscaster Alastair Stewart is set to make a welcome return to BETA International to host an exciting debate where hot industry topics will take centre stage.
This new feature sees key movers and shakers in the equestrian world going head-to-head in a meaty discussion in which they can air their often outspoken points of view as they wrestle with the latest issues affecting different sectors of the trade.
“I am delighted to be participating in BETA International once again,” said Alastair. “It is the premier gathering for the industries that support our brilliant equestrian sports. Showjumping is central to my family and I am proud to be an ambassador for British Showjumping, but eventing, dressage and racing are brilliant, too – and, as a nation, we’re pretty good at all of it.
“I am looking forward to hosting a debate and question-time at the show that should be both informative and entertaining. I do hope that visitors will come along and join us!”
BETA International organiser Claire Thomas said: “We are thrilled that Alastair has agreed to take part in the 2016 trade fair. He is a consummate professional and extremely experienced in dealing with political heavyweights, so I’m sure that he will thoroughly enjoy taking the reins for a debate among members of the equestrian industry. It will be super to see Alastair – one of the trade fair’s most popular famous faces – back at the show!”
