Representatives of the Remote Gambling Association announced that two invaluable assets have been appointed as a result of the recent departure of Sue Rossiter, the former Director of Projects and Policy.
There is a reason for the appointment of the two directors, though. The Remote Gambling Association is currently making efforts towards focusing on regulatory issues. The names of the new directors are Paul Morris and Pierre Tournier.
As already reported, Ms. Rossiter left the Association so as to be able to start contributing to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Her responsibilities are now to be transferred to Paul Morris and Pierre Tournier. They have been appointed as Director of Regulatory Affairs and Director of Government Relations, respectively.
Mr. Morris has already started performing his responsibilities as Director of Regulatory Affairs but Mr. Tournier will begin his role from August 1st onwards. He will perform his duties from a Belgium-based office.
The main reason for the appointment of two directors is the willingness of RGA to expand its scope of operation.
Brian Wright, the Director of Business, commented on the new appointments and said that the departure of Sue Rossiter made Remote Gambling Association representatives reconsider their priorities and pay closer attention to the regulation matters and the tax issues.
They decided to focus on these two not only in the United Kingdom but also in other states. Since the workload will be considerably increased they decided to appoint two people instead of one.
Mr. Wright added that the two new positions were created in order the Remote Gambling Association to serve its members effectively by counting on people with considerable experience in the remote gambling affairs.
An important element of the biography of Mr. Morris is his appointment in the Gambling Commission. He has been in charge of particular remote gambling-related aspects and has overseen leading casino operators such as William Hill, Betfair and bet365.
Paul Morris commented on his recent new position and said that he was impatient to join the RGA and work in collaboration with people who are dedicated to tackling issues related to the remote gambling industry in the region. In point of fact, the next couple of months are said to be critical to the regulation matters and new markets regulation will be of paramount priority to RGA.
