Rank announces Andrew Peat as new Managing Director, Rank Interactive

Peat is currently Sportsbook Director at William Hill and has held that role since November 2018; he will begin his new role at Rank later this year.

Prior to his current position, Peat was Commercial Director at Dixon’s Carphone Group and Commercial Propositions Director at tech start-up firm Ctrilo.

This new role will be based at Rank's Gibraltar office. Peat will report to Jon Martin, who is also taking on a new role, starting as COO later this summer. 

Martin said: “Securing an operator of Andrew’s calibre is great news for Rank. His experience in sports and gaming, along with his track record in delivering cross-channel improvements at one of the biggest sportsbook brands in the UK bodes well for the important job he will soon be undertaking in Gibraltar.

"Rank Interactive has enjoyed significant growth recently and Andrew’s appointment will look to capitalise on the momentum we have in the business. I look forward to welcoming him when he joins us later this year.”

Peat said: “The chance to join Rank at such a pivotal time for the digital business was too good an opportunity to turn down. The potential to build on the good work of recent years is huge, powered by Rank’s own proprietary technology and a first-class team of engaged colleagues in the Interactive team.

"My ambition to deliver an exceptional cross-channel experience for Rank customers in both gaming and sports is clearly shared by the team and I am looking forward to getting started.”
