"Charlie impressed me with his knowledge of racing and breeding, as well as showing notable ambition to become a successful bloodstock agent," said Lillingston.

"He came highly recommended by old friends and associates Alastair Donald and Sam Hoskins, for whom he has worked, and by John Osborne."

"Lillingston Bloodstock is an established, internationally renowned bloodstock agency and I'm excited and honoured to begin a career with the Kern Lillingston Association," added Dee.
