Gambling Commission names dental regulator as new chair
Bill Moyes replaces Philip Graf following the end of his five-year tenure
Bill Moyes has been hired to replace Philip Graf as the new chair of Great Britain’s Gambling Commission, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has announced.
Moyes, who starts his five-year term next month, currently serves as chair of the General Dental Council, regulator for the UK’s dental professionals.
He was previously director general and executive director of British Retail Consortium, and has held non-executive directorships with the Legal Services Board, the Priory Hospital Group and the Office of Fair Trading.
His earlier career was in government and the banking industry, and his pro bono roles include the chairmanship of the board of directors of St Mary’s Music School, Edinburgh.
“[Moyes] has a wealth of experience across the public, private and voluntary sectors, which will serve him well at the Gambling Commission,” Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Karen Bradley, said.
The appointment of Moyes comes after the Gambling Commission last year named Ofgem senior partner Sarah Harrison as its new chief executive, ending a near nine-month search to find a successor to Jenny Williams.
