Riders called on to nominate hat fitters for new award
riding hat fitters for a new equestrian industry accolade – the BETA Roy Burek Hat Fitter of the Year Award.

Launched by the British Equestrian Trade Association, the award is designed to celebrate excellence in riding hat fitting and highlight the important role played by trained retailers who go above and beyond to ensure that customers receive the best possible experience.
This year, it has been named in honour of the late Professor Roy Burek, former Charles Owen managing director and chairman, who made significant contributions throughout his life to rider safety, as well as playing a key role in establishing hat fitting as a profession. “Roy believed shop-based retailers were crucial in helping to ensure that riders get the best possible fit for their hats and that it is essential they have access to expert, independent training,” said BETA executive director Claire Williams.
iders are being called on to reward great customer service, skill and professionalism by nominating

“Backed by his convictions, Roy was instrumental in developing hat fitter training with BETA in the early 1990s and remained a loyal and dynamic supporter. He was always keen to endorse the independent nature of BETA training and lectured on many of our hat fitting courses, so we are delighted that this award bears his name.”
Consumers are invited to nominate a hat fitter they feel has offered them exemplary service over the past 12 months. Staff from retailers, both BETA members and non-members, can be put forward for the award by downloading a form at
