Pat Smith, UK & ROI Business Director for New Holland Agriculture said “New Holland Agriculture is delighted to become a principal partner of Chelmsford City Racecourse, the UK’s newest horse racing venue. We look forward to supporting the racecourse through this partnership which we feel creates an excellent synergy between both enterprises given the location of our Basildon, Essex Tractor Plant.”
