Tim Miller, the executive director for policy and research at the UK Gambling Commission, will leave the regulator in September. He departs after ten years of service to take up an international advisory role.
Miller joined the commission in 2016. He announced his exit on LinkedIn, stating he plans to work independently and collaborate with international governments and organizations to support regulated markets. The commission confirmed he will remain in his current position until September, with a successor to be named later.
Regulatory Contributions
During his tenure, Miller led the research function and managed several policy initiatives. He oversaw the launch of the Gambling Survey for Great Britain and guided the implementation of the Gambling Act review. His work included reforms to age verification, the trial of financial vulnerability checks, and regulations regarding remote game design and direct marketing.
In a statement, Miller described his time at the commission as the most rewarding role of his career. Sarah Gardner, the interim chief executive, thanked him for his decade of service and his impact on gambling regulation.
Miller’s departure occurs during a period of senior-level changes at the regulator. CEO Andrew Rhodes previously stepped down in February to take a role at consultancy Hawkbridge.
