His experience with HMRC, the FSA, the Gambling Commission, William Hill and more widely with industry bodies made him an outstanding candidate in the selection process and we are delighted he is joining us in Gibraltar

Together, they will prepare for a series of changes to Gibraltar’s taxation arrangements, the introduction of the Gambling Act Review, and new regulatory policies and codes that will be rolled out during 2018.

"Andrew will now be driving the excellent work of the Gambling Division and enhancing that process,” Isola added. “Government recognizes that this area needs more resource and support and we are very fortunate to have Andrew joining us. I am pleased that we will continue to have the experience, knowledge and support of Phill Brear in his new position supporting Andrew and Government in this area.

“Gibraltar remains committed to supporting the Gaming Community and to providing the very best in remote and all other gambling services, safely and securely, and Andrew's appointment reflects this commitment and determination to remain best in class."
