Following a review of GBGB operations with the recent funding gap issues involving bookmaker voluntary contributions for both retail and on-line, it has been decided to make the role of Media and Communications Officer redundant with immediate effect. As a consequence, Simon Banks will be leaving the company today (Monday 22nd October 2018).
GBGB Managing Director Mark Bird said, ʺSimon has been a part of the team at the Greyhound Board for the past 4 years. He has a wealth of greyhound experience both in terms of being a journalist and writing on industry specific topics but also as someone who owns racing and retired greyhounds. Simon has a real passion for the sport and understands the political and economic issues that face the industry so will therefore be a great loss. I wish him all the best in any new venturesʺ.
Press enquiries should now be made to the GBGB via the main switchboard in the first instance.
