London-listed Rank Group has appointed Cliff Baty as its interim Chief Financial Officer as it remains on the hunt for a new Chief Executive Officer.
Baty has over a decade of experience in CFO roles, most recently serving as Manchester United’s CFO from 2016-2024. He has also held key positions at Sportech, Ladbrokes and EY, and joins the firm which is searching for a new CEO following the retirement of former boss John O’Reilly.
Baty brings expertise in strategic and financial planning, investor relations, financial controls, international business operations and stakeholder management.
He also joins just weeks after the company reported strong half-year results, with operating profit growing to £40.6m compared to the £33m for the 2024/25 trading period.
