Changes ahead in the new century<br />
In October 2002 the company celebrated<br />
its 150th Anniversary by entertaining all<br />
shareholders, staff and their families to a<br />
day’s racing at Ascot. <strong>The</strong> day included<br />
children’s entertainment, an ‘Around the<br />
World’ themed lunch pavilion with six<br />
outlets serving food from all corners of the<br />
earth, and an afternoon tea buffet. Two<br />
races were sponsored by the company, the<br />
<strong>Willmott</strong> <strong>Dixon</strong> Cornwallis Stakes and the Princess Royal <strong>Willmott</strong> <strong>Dixon</strong> Stakes.<br />
Lounges with betting facilities, and reserved seating in the Grandstand were available<br />
for the sole use of all guests during the day, which was thoroughly enjoyed by<br />
almost 2,500 people.<br />
