The Rank Group announced the appointment of Jenny Blogg as chief commercial officer, effective March 16. Blogg currently serves as operations director at Allwyn, the current operator of the UK National Lottery.
Extensive Lottery and Retail Background
Blogg brings substantial experience in lottery operations, having spent over six years at Camelot, the previous UK National Lottery operator, before joining Allwyn. Her broader commercial leadership experience spans the retail and food sectors, including positions at Cadbury and Danone Group.
“The opportunity to join Rank at this stage of the growth story has been irresistible,”
Blogg said.
“With strong brands and clear levers to drive growth across the group, I am confident that my track record of delivering results will fit extremely well with the ambitions that Richard [Harris, interim CEO of Rank] has outlined.”
Strategic Appointment for Growth Targets
Richard Harris, interim CEO of The Rank Group, welcomed the appointment as the company pursues growth objectives across its Grosvenor Casino and Mecca Bingo brands.
“Jenny is an outstanding leader and brings significant corporate experience in delivering successful results in high profile organisations,” Harris said. “She joins us at an exciting time as we focus on delivering operating profit for the Group of at least £100m in the medium term.”
Harris added:
“With her commercial expertise, I am confident she will be a great addition to our strong executive team and I look forward to welcoming her to Rank next month.”
Reporting Structure
In her new role, Blogg will oversee key operational areas of The Rank Group. Chief product officer Liam Wallwork and Andrew Peat, managing director of Rank’s UK-facing digital businesses, will both report directly to her. Blogg will report to interim CEO Harris and join the company’s executive committee.
The appointment comes as The Rank Group works toward its medium-term target of £100 million in operating profit, leveraging its established brands in the UK gaming and leisure market.
