EPIC Risk Management has announced that Martin Bland has joined the company as Director of Business Development. His role will be to help EPIC expand its work to prevent gambling from harming people and organizations.
Bland will be working closely with EPIC’s existing clients to ensure service excellence and will proactively develop its client base as part of the organization’s growth strategy.
