SIMON BROOKHOUSE APPOINTED CEO
Tickford Racing accelerates its journey into the 2024 Championship with the appointment of new CEO, Simon Brookhouse. Boasting a wealth of experience across all levels of sports, from grassroots to professional leagues, Brookhouse brings a proven track record, having guided the NBL's latest franchise, Tasmania JackJumpers, to a Grand Final series in their inaugural year—an unprecedented feat in Australian sports history. This strategic move aligns seamlessly with Tickford Racing's ambitious pursuit of the 2024 Supercars Driver and Team's Championship titles.
Commenting on his new role, Brookhouse expresses his enthusiasm, stating, "I’m very excited about the opportunity to join the highly credentialed Tickford Racing Team; they're synonymous with success."
Drawing parallels between his recent achievements, such as steering a new team to success in established competitions, and Tickford Racing's shift to a two-car operation, Brookhouse expresses his commitment to making an impact from the outset, aiming for success as he hits the ground running prior to round 1 of the 2024 Championship.
Brookhouse's extensive background in professional sport and his keen understanding of the cultural dynamics necessary for sustained high performance make him a valuable asset for Tickford Racing.
Managing Director Rod Nash adds “To find a candidate with Simon’s history is a win for our team. He has a strong understanding of professional sport, is proven as an effective leader that can motivate and deliver clear communication, and has established relationships that have helped grow commercial revenue and ultimately a winning culture. Simon's experience as a commercial orientated CEO will lead the team well in all aspects of our racing and business operating culture in order to continue to succeed”.
Brookhouse will land on February 19 as the team gears up for the first test next week at Winton Raceway, before the opening round of the 2024 Championship at Bathurst, February 23-25.
