GVC Appoints New Group Corporate Affairs Director


GVC is pleased to announce Grainne Hurst has been promoted to the position of Group Corporate Affairs Director and will be joining the Group’s ExCo team.
In the newly created role, Grainne will build on the Group’s ambition to lead the industry on responsible gambling and develop relationships with the media and external partners.
Grainne was previously Director of Responsible Gambling at GVC, a position she held since the Group’s acquisition of the Ladbrokes Coral Group in March 2017, where she led the company’s parliamentary liaison. Previously she has served as a government Special Advisor as well as in a variety of senior Communications roles in other FTSE 100 companies including Asda. She also brings corporate affairs experience from Luther Pendragon, one of the UK’s largest communication consultancies.
Commenting on her new appointment, Grainne Hurst said: “Ensuring that GVC continues to lead the way in safer gambling, corporate social responsibility and regulatory affairs, has never been so important. I am delighted to be joining the talented management team at GVC, following my maternity leave as well as working with our industry and charitable partners to deliver a successful, sustainable and socially responsible business.”
GVC CEO Kenneth Alexander added: “Grainne brings a wealth of experience to this new position, both within GVC where she has spear-headed our Changing for the Bettor Safer Gambling campaign, and from previous communications roles. I am delighted to be promoting from within GVC, after an extensive external search, which proves we have the existing talent and expertise to develop our leadership team. I look forward to welcoming Grainne back from maternity leave next month”.

Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Spain, commented: “This year, we have decided to look a bit beyond Spain’s borders – at the opportunities offered by Latin America’s booming and increasingly regulated markets. I am, of course, very proud to welcome several local experts to our event who can tell us more about these opportunities. Even so, Spain remains the focal point of our event. The Spanish government’s efforts to turn gambling primarily into a public health issue ensures that there will be plenty to discuss this year.”
Breakout sessions, workshops, networking & more
In addition to our main program, the Gaming in Spain Conference also features several highly practical breakout sessions, as well as three certificate-granting workshops on internal audits and the EU’s AI Act, GDPR website checks, and establishing a learning culture in your organization.

Furthermore, the Gaming in Spain Conference offers plenty of networking opportunities during coffee breaks, lunch, and networking drinks.
Finally, all Gaming in Spain Conference attendees are cordially invited to attend the Jdigital Awards ceremony on June 26. The Jdigital Awards honor outstanding contributions to the improvement of Spain’s regulated online gambling sector.
