The Sunday Times (paywalled) reports that Marcus Boyle from Deloittes will be the new GC boss.
A former strategy chief at the accountancy firm Deloitte is set to lead the betting industry watchdog, which is under increasing scrutiny over its failure to tackle problem gambling.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) is understood to have selected Marcus Boyle to replace Bill Moyes, whose term as chairman of the Gambling Commission ends later this year.

It is not clear that Boyle has much experience of betting but I expect he knows which knife and fork to use.

Hmm. Look at that URL. Boyle has evidently not persuaded BADA to move its website from the insecure http to the secure https protocol. That does not bode well.

I'm sure his interests in the Piano and Bee Keeping will come in handy as the new boss of the Gambling Commission!!!
