Neil Goulden, chairman of the RGT, said: “Industry representatives make an important contribution to the work of the trust and Richard was an excellent and collaborative trustee committed to helping the trust to fulfil its charitable objectives.

“I know that James will be no less committed and will prove an important industry advocate for our work to minimise gambling-related harm."

Henderson added: “Responsible gambling is a key area that requires continuous focus and improvement and, therefore, I’m pleased to be able to combine my experience and knowledge with other trustees to promote responsible gambling over the coming years.”
