Board appointment
The Board of Gaming Realms is pleased to announce the
appointment of Mark Blandford as a Non-Executive Director. He joins
the Board with immediate effect.
Mark was the owner of a traditional 'bricks and mortar'
bookmaker's chain for over 15 years, then recognised the potential
of the internet in the mid 1990s. In 1998 he founded
Sportingbet.com, and in 2001 floated the company on AIM. Mark
stepped down from the Board of Sportingbet in 2007 before its
eventual sale in 2013 for GBP485m, with the assets being split
between William Hill and GVC. In 2002, Mark was awarded AIM
Entrepreneur of the Year.
Since stepping down from the board of Sportingbet, Mark has
become an active, successful and widely-followed investor in the
digital pay2play entertainment space.
Michael Buckley, Non-Executive Chairman of Gaming Realms, said:
"We are delighted that Mark has agreed to join the Company. He has
significant Board experience in public companies and the online
gaming industry. We welcome him and greatly look forward to working
with him."
