The UK’s Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has a new Director of Sport and Gambling. Emma Floyd took to LinkedIn [8 June] announcing that she has been selected to take over the role after her predecessor Ben Dean moved to a new Cabinet role in early 2026.
It is unclear at this time what exactly Floyd’s remit as Director of Sport and Gambling will be, though it’s fair to say there are a number of policy and regulatory topics affecting both sides of this job role right now.
SBC News has reached out to DCMS for a comment on the responsibilities of Floyd’s new directorship.
