Andrew Lyman, currently director of Group Regulatory Affairs for William Hill Plc, recently was named executive director and head of gambling for the government of Gibraltar, effective January 2018. An industry veteran with decades of experience in advisory, public affairs and regulations leadership, Lyman will replace Philip Brear, who has led the division for nearly 10 years and will serve as an advisor.
In his new position, Lyman will oversee Gibraltar’s regulatory guidance and stakeholder relationships, ahead of the British Overseas Territory’s introduction of new industry policies under the Gibraltar 2016 Gambling Act.
Gibraltar gambling Minister Albert Isola said, “Andrew is very well known in the industry, here in the UK and further afield, as an authoritative voice on policy, regulation, public affairs and the operation and development of all aspects of remote and non-remote gambling.
Gibraltar remains committed to supporting the gaming community and to providing the very best in remote and all other gambling services, safely and securely, and Andrew’s appointment reflects this commitment and determination to remain best in class. His experience with HMRC, the FSA, the Gambling Commission, William Hill and more widely with industry bodies made him an outstanding candidate in the selection process and we are delighted he is joining us in Gibraltar.”
Isola added, “Gibraltar remains committed to supporting the Gaming Community and to providing the very best in remote and all other gambling services, safely and securely, and Andrew’s appointment reflects this commitment and determination to remain best in class.”
