Nick Rust, the chair of the Industry Forum of Great Britain’s Gambling Commission, is to step down from his role when his term ends in November.

GBGC stressed that Rust had been “instrumental in the creation and development of the Forum,” and that his leadership “helped establish the Forum as a vital part of the Commission’s wider engagement and governance structure.”
“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,” said Rust.
“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.”
