Victoria Gate appoints new Head of Marketing and Customer Experience
Before joining Global Gaming Ventures – the operator of Victoria Gate Casino – McKenna was in the Royal Navy for six years, working on board ships and managing the sonar and radar equipment. She then went on to join Leeds Building Society where she worked her way up from cashier to Assistant Branch Manager before moving to Santander as a Mortgage Advisor. McKenna then took on the role of Senior Product Manager at Asda before becoming Strategic Brand Manager.
McKenna, who is originally from Leeds, said: “My main role in the Royal Navy was to spot enemy ships and manage the radar and sonar equipment. “It was an unforgettable experience and I learned so many skills that will be really valuable in my new role. “The Royal Navy gave me discipline and structure whilst my finance background means I work well in a target-driven, fast-paced environment.” When it opens Victoria Gate casino will be the largest casino in the north of England and Scotland and employ 180 local people.
