Allwyn Announces New Leadership Team for UK National Lottery

Allwyn has formed a group of experienced leaders to oversee its management of the UK National Lottery. Effective October 1st, Andria Vidler, with a background as a regional CEO at Tag Worldwide and an executive role at EMI Records, will assume the position of CEO.

Robert Chvátal, Allwyn’s CEO, conveyed his trust in the newly appointed leadership group, emphasizing their dedication to optimizing the lottery’s positive impact on communities throughout the UK. Joining Vidler are other seasoned professionals, including Alan Artz as CFO and Gaby Heppner-Logan concentrating on safeguarding players. This revised leadership framework guarantees a seamless handover as Allwyn gets ready to take charge of the National Lottery’s operations.

Neil Brocklehurst and Clare Swindell, the present joint chief executive officers of Camelot UK, will be leaving their positions after overseeing a seamless handover to their replacements. Robert Chvátal, chief executive of Allwyn, conveyed his heartfelt appreciation for their remarkable service to the National Lottery throughout their tenure.

This shift occurs as Allwyn gets ready to assume control of the UK National Lottery in February 2024. The purchase of Camelot UK is finalized, and the skilled personnel from Camelot will now merge with Allwyn’s UK lottery operations, contributing their knowledge and proficiency to the upcoming chapter.
