LSE-listed Rank Group Plc has appointed Jenny Blogg as its new Chief Commercial Officer, with the former Allwyn UK Operations Director set to take up the role on 16 March.

The appointment comes amid a leadership shake-up at the Grosvenor Casinos and Mecca Bingo owner, with CEO John O’Reilly announcing his intention to retire last month and John H. Ott replacing Alex Thursby as Chair in November 2025.

Blogg brings more than 25 years of commercial leadership experience across the retail, food, and gambling sectors.

At National Lottery operator, Allwyn UK, she led the retail, contact centre, draw operations, winner services and customer experience teams over a two year period.
