The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) begins a new leadership era by welcoming Grainne Hurst as the CEO of the trade and standards body of UK gambling. Announced in April, Hurst succeeds Michael Dugher as CEO, who, as part of a leadership restructure, chose to take on the role of Chairman.

On the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, SBC News’ Senior Journalist, Viktor Kayed, is joined by Ted Menmuir, SBC’s Content Director, to delve deeper into Hurst’s appointment and discuss how she will represent and guide UK gambling through the concluding phase of the UK gambling review. 

Hurst has maintained that the BGC will prioritise stability, growth and diversity to govern gambling and the duo consider how she will help reshape the trade body’s future vision and values beyond the gambling review, as well as guide the organisation through matters that require the BGC’s input, such as the RET Levy.
