Nick Rust to Step Down as Chair of UKGC’s Industry Forum

Nick Rust has announced that he will be stepping down as Chair of the UK Gambling Commission’s (UKGC) Industry Forum when his agreed two-year term comes to an end in November.
Nick has been instrumental in the creation and development of the Forum, working closely with the Commission to ensure that the voices and expertise of industry stakeholders are heard and reflected in its work. His leadership has helped establish the Forum as a vital part of the Commission’s wider engagement and governance structure.
Nick said: “It’s been a privilege to Chair the Industry Forum and help the Commission’s Executives and Board to gain insights on policy and operational performance from an industry perspective. I’m pleased with the work the Forum has delivered and believe it has helped the Commission better understand the implications of its existing and planned policies for consumers and industry operators.
“I’d like to thank my fellow Forum members for their work and also the Gambling Commission team who support the Forum. I look forward to seeing how the Industry Forum continues to support the Commission to achieve its regulatory aims.”
Helen Child, Head of Governance at UKGC, said: “Nick has been instrumental in the creation of the Forum, helping to develop and embed it into the Commission’s expert groups. I have very much enjoyed working with him as we established the Forum, and I would like to thank Nick for his hard work in getting the group to this point. We wish him well for the future.”
Andrew Rhodes, Chief Executive of UKGC, said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed working with both Nick and the Forum over the last two years. Nick has been such a valuable sounding board, a constant fount of knowledge and insight and a great support to me personally.”
“A new Chair will be appointed in due course, with further updates to follow. We are grateful to Nick for his significant contribution and continued support during the transition,” the Commission said.
