Dr. Nikin Patel is a retired entrepreneur with a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. As a former CEO, he specialized in innovation, strategic growth, and building high-performing teams. In retirement, he is committed to using his expertise to support meaningful causes and give back to the community.
Nikin joined Belvoir Vale RDA in May of 2024 as a trustee and has since taken on the role of treasurer. He is responsible for managing the charity’s financial health, ensuring sustainability and supporting strategic decisions that enable us to reach and help more people.
Whilst Nikin didn’t have any previous equine interest, a single visit to the new facility allowed him to see first hand the tangible impact that equestrian therapy has on participants and their families in terms of improving quality of life and creating opportunities for personal growth. He was immediately inspired to contribute his skills and experience to help the charity thrive.
“Despite still having no prior equestrian experience, I’ve been warmly welcomed by everyone at Belvoir Vale RDA. This inclusivity reflects the heart of the organization—where diverse perspectives and backgrounds are not only accepted but valued.”
