“To have had the opportunity to work in an industry that’s also your passion has been fantastic. And to do that for the global leader in bloodstock and racing in Godolphin was essentially a dream come true,” said Makiv. “I leave with a heavy heart and thank the company, people and clients for all their support.”

Makiv departs Godolphin Australia on Friday, 1 January 2021 taking up a senior management role with The Midfield Group of companies.
