Experienced bloodstock figure to take up role as director of stallions

Tubba Williams has been appointed the director of stallions at Newgate Farm in the Hunter Valley and will take up his new role on January 1. 

Williams - who joins the team after a spell working for Aquis Farm - worked at Henry Field’s operation for five years during its infancy and said he is looking forward to getting stuck into the new role. 

“I’m looking forward to rejoining Newgate,” said Williams. “Henry and the Newgate team are dynamic.  

“I was fortunate to work with Newgate in its infancy for five years and in my five year absence, Newgate has developed into one of the most progressive farms in the southern hemisphere if not the world.  

“I can’t wait to be back in the fold working with wonderful people and horses.” 

Managing director Field was vehement in his praise for Williams and said he was looking forward to having him back at Newgate. 

“Tubba was instrumental in getting Newgate off the ground as a start-up operation, and I couldn’t be happier that he is rejoining us to head up our stallion operation,” said Field. “Tubba brings with him a wealth of knowledge and has a wonderful rapport with people in the industry.

“He has taught me so much over the years and Newgate would not be what it is today without him. 

“The Newgate Owners, SF Bloodstock, Matthew Sandblom and myself are thrilled to have him back with us in such a pivotal role in our business.” 

Williams will replace Bruce Slade in the role of director of stallions, while Slade will remain a key member of the Newgate team in a bloodstock and sales consultancy role.
