Allwyn Eyes UK National Lottery With Justin King as Prospective Chairman

Allwyn, a prominent contender in the European lottery sector, aims to secure the upcoming license for the UK National Lottery. They have already formulated a strategy upon securing the win: Justin King, the renowned former chief executive of Sainsbury’s, the supermarket behemoth, will assume the role of chairman for Allwyn’s UK endeavors.

King’s remarkable history of overhauling substantial enterprises, particularly his contribution to rejuvenating Sainsbury’s, makes him an ideal candidate for the position. His extensive comprehension of the UK retail environment, cultivated during his tenure at Sainsbury’s, will be indispensable in overseeing the vast retail network of the National Lottery.

King has participated in Allwyn’s bid since its inception, serving on their advisory panel and providing support for their aspirations. His designation as chairman, contingent upon Allwyn’s successful bid, is a testament to his dedication and the pivotal part he has already undertaken in the process.

Mr. Jin conveyed his excitement about becoming a part of Allwyn, remarking, “Allwyn possesses a remarkable history of improving the lottery journey. Our group consists of top-tier specialists from around the world, and we are supported by Allwyn’s vast European lottery system.

“It is a privilege to guide Allwyn as the National Lottery administrator and to contribute to leading this significant establishment into a fresh chapter.”
