Final 24 revealed for the 2022 Betting Shop Manager of the Year competition

The final 24 of this year's Racing Post/SIS Betting Shop Manager of the Year competition has been announced.

The 48 managers who made it through to the latest stage were narrowed down further by a judging panel, which assessed a series of mystery shopper reports.

We now have the leading three managers from the eight regions in Britain and Ireland, and these 24 will now meet the judges during an informal lunch and day at Doncaster races on Friday, October 21.

The regional champions will be announced on Thursday, October 27 on SIS.

Each regional champion, along with a key member of their shop staff, will then attend the final selection in London, which involves a question-and-answer session with the judges on the day before the final.

The final awards lunch takes place at the Carlton Tower Jumeirah on Monday, November 7 and the winner will be invited to several key racing and betting events during their year as champion.
