Rank Confirms New Head of Remuneration Committee
Rank Group has confirmed that Lucinda Charles-Jones will succeed Steven Esom as chair of Rank’s Remuneration committee from the start of next year.
Additionally, Charles-Jones has been appointed as the designated non-executive director for workforce engagement, also with effect from 1 January 2023.
Charles-Jones – who has more than 25 years of executive-level experience in human resource roles, including as the chief people and corporate responsibility officer for the UK and Ireland at insurance provider AXA – was initially appointed to Rank’s board as a non-executive director back in June.
In recent months she has served on Rank’s Remuneration, Nominations and ESG committees.
Esom is stepping down at the end of 2022 after having served for more than six years on the company’s board.
“On behalf of Rank I would like to thank Steven for his valuable contribution as a director on the board and as chair of the Remuneration committee for the past six years,” chair Alex Thursby said.
“Steven’s wealth of experience in consumer-focused industries, coupled with his long-standing strategic and shareholder experience, has had a strong influence on the board and helped lay the foundations for Rank’s future growth. His experience has also been crucial in broadening the scope of our remuneration policies. Steven will leave the Rank board with our best wishes.
“I am delighted to have Lucinda step up as chair of the Remuneration committee and as the designated non-executive director for workforce engagement, and the board looks forward to working with her in her new role.”

Reading Time: 2 minutes
RPM Gaming, a specialist in retail and online betting and gaming, has strengthened its senior executive team with the appointment of industry veteran Conleth Byrne as Strategic Partnerships Director.
Byrne brings with him two decades of leadership experience across the iGaming and technology sectors, having held directorial roles at IGT, The Football Pools, and SIS, alongside more recent strategic consultancy work with a range of high-growth businesses across the betting and gaming ecosystem.
Following a rapid period of growth at RPM Gaming, Byrne’s scope will be to translate his extensive experience in business strategy and operational excellence across various iGaming sectors into long-term value for the company’s global partners, adding significant value with his understanding of high-growth operations and ability to foster top-tier partnerships.
Richard Thorp, Founder at RPM Gaming, said: “Conleth’s a hugely respected figure in this industry, having operated in senior roles in high-stakes, high-growth environments for the past twenty years. His experience in-house with some of iGaming’s biggest names and in advisory roles for successful companies in a number of verticals will be a huge asset to our organisation and our global partners.”
Conleth Byrne, RPM Gaming’s Strategic Partnerships Director, added: “RPM Gaming has become the go-to name for ambitious iGaming firms looking to enter their next growth phase, from either a tech or new-market point of view. Joining this team – which is packed full of industry heavyweights – is a pleasure, and I’m looking forward to adding my own value to RPM and its customers.
“We want to cement RPM’s reputation as the one-stop shop for those who have strong visions but are, perhaps, unable to join the dots with internal resources in making that a reality. This team can do just that, with the connections, know-how, and go-to-market experience to take companies of all sizes to their next level.”
