Allwyn, the firm vying for control of the UK National Lottery, has ambitious goals should their bid succeed. They are eager to appoint Justin King, the retail magnate who revitalized Sainsbury’s, to helm their UK lottery division. His role would be Chairman, contingent upon Allwyn receiving approval from the Gambling Commission.
King is no stranger to Allwyn, having provided counsel on their bid for some time. Sir Keith Mills, Allwyn’s chairman, is evidently impressed by King’s track record of reviving flagging companies and his comprehensive knowledge of the UK market. They are confident that his proficiency, particularly in modernizing retail environments, would be indispensable for the National Lottery’s network. It appears to be an ideal pairing – should Allwyn prevail.
Allwyns Chief Executive, Robert Chvátal, eagerly anticipates collaborating with Camelot, the present UK National Lottery administrator, to guarantee a seamless handover when Allwyn assumes control in 2024. He underscores Allwyn’s remarkable history of enriching lottery engagements and their assembly of international specialists. Chvátal stresses the assistance accessible through Allwyn’s vast European lottery framework.
He conveys his honor in guiding Allwyn as the National Lottery’s custodian, poised to introduce a fresh chapter for this notable establishment.
