The Gambling Commission has announced the appointment of Kirsty Caldwell as Interim Chair of the Industry Forum, effective immediately.

"I am delighted to take on this role. I remain fully committed to building a healthy and respected gambling sector.

This appointment reinforces the Commission’s commitment to ongoing engagement with the industry and to promoting transparency, collaboration, and responsible gambling practices.
