Mecca Bingo head of ecommerce joins Playtech
Stevie Shaves becomes gaming operations director at Playtech's end-to-end bingo division and is replaced by Mark Henderson
Mecca Bingo head of ecommerce Stevie Shaves has left the firm to take up a gaming operations director role at Playtech’s B2B bingo team.
Shaves will be based out of Playtech’s Camden office and will lead operations and customer retention teams within the division.
He leaves Mecca, a division of the Rank Group, after a year-and-a-half at the firm’s Gibraltar office where he headed up the ecommerce team and was responsible for the operations of Meccabingo.com.
Shaves had previously been head of bingo and gaming at Gala Coral’s Galabingo.com brand between February 2012 and August 2013.
He has been replaced at Mecca Bingo by Rank Group veteran Mark Henderson who has worked at the brand in various roles for more than 21 years, having originally joined in 1995.
Henderson’s appointment comes amid a time of change at Rank Group, with chief executive Henry Birch having restructured its senior management team and overseen the appointment of a new digital platform provider in Bede Gaming since his appointment in March last year.
