Allwyn Appoints Two Industry Leaders to Board in Preparation for National Lottery Takeover

Allwyn, the organization set to assume control of the UK National Lottery, has designated Sharon Doherty and Victoria McKenzie-Gould as autonomous non-executive board members. These highly accomplished women will undertake a vital part in guaranteeing a seamless handover and the effective implementation of Allwyn’s objectives once the Gambling Commission formally grants them the permit.

Doherty, contributing her vast experience in spearheading digital overhauls at significant corporations such as Lloyds Banking Group, conveyed her eagerness to utilize her proficiency for an institution as influential as the National Lottery.

McKenzie-Gould, presently the Corporate Affairs Director at Marks & Spencer, highlighted the importance of the National Lottery as a cherished national entity. Her knowledge in managing intricate stakeholder connections will be indispensable as Allwyn prioritizes client satisfaction and seeks to provide an engaging and protected encounter when they formally take charge in February 2024.

Allwyns Chief Executive, Justin King, expressed enthusiasm for the additions of Victoria and Sharon, acknowledging their prominent roles in their respective domains. He underscored how their proficiency bolsters Allwyn’s already formidable group. Their input will be essential throughout the shift to the fourth National Lottery permit, guaranteeing a meticulously organized and prosperous execution. He further stated that Allwyn is dedicated to assembling a varied board to supervise the company’s activities and maintain accountability, effectively managing the intricacies of a project of this magnitude.
