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.
“My role here is about growth. Yes, organically the business will commercially grow but ultimately, the more companies we work with, the more people we interact with, the more people we help. So, that’s a massive goal of mine here at EPIC and I’m excited to get started.”
EPIC is an independent gambling harm minimization consultancy and works to help mitigate the risks and potentially devastating effects of program gambling. The company launched a subsidiary in Delaware in September 2021 to service both US and Canadian territories.
Bland has worked 18 years in the sports data and technology market and said he is excited to take on his new role.
“I’m thrilled to be joining such a progressive company who are trying to pioneer this space of gambling harm minimization,” said Bland. “What’s been clear to me throughout the recruitment process and my short time here, is that EPIC is hugely passionate about its purpose. Ultimately, this organization is about helping people and the more organizations we can work with provides the opportunity to help more people the better.”
Les Murray, Managing Director at EPIC Risk Management, added, “Such a senior appointment reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering service excellence to our existing clients and in continuing the significant growth we have seen at EPIC Risk Management. We are extremely pleased to welcome Martin to the EPIC team.”
