We have recently seen two key managers, Peter Cowsill and Stefan Pishief, leave the Gambling Compliance Group. Stefan has taken on a new role in Gisborne and Peter has retired following 20 years of service to the casino sector. We thank them both for their service and wish them the best in their future endeavours.

Lance Daly will be the acting Manager, Casino Compliance team, for six months starting from 9 June. Stacey Hayward will become the interim acting Manager, Gambling Compliance, for one month starting from 2 June. Danielle Lancaster will become the interim acting Team Leader, Licensing Auckland, for one month starting from 9 June.

The current organisational structure of the Gambling Compliance Group is shown in the chart below which can be found on our website.
