Blueprint hands new corporate accounts role to Wallbank

UK-based games studio Blueprint Gaming has appointed Nicola Wallbank to the newly created role of head of corporate accounts.

In her new role, Wallbank will report directly to managing director David Purvis and assume responsibility for a team of customers and account managers.

Wallbank has been with Blueprint, a division of the Gauselmann Group, since October 2016, joining the studio as content test manager before going on to serve as key account manager.

Prior to her time with Blueprint, Wallbank spent seven years with the Regal Gaming and Leisure Group, serving in senior positions such as account manager for the business and also operations manager for its Kellyseye.com arm.

“I am delighted with my appointment and am looking forward to further developing Blueprint’s customer relationships,” Wallbank said. “It’s an exciting time to be part of Gauselmann’s UK team and I am fully committed to providing customer excellence in everything we do across the AGC, bingo and pub sectors.”

MD Purvis added: “We are pleased to have been able to promote from within the Blueprint business. Nicola has the necessary experience to enhance our customer relationships and make a significant contribution to our growth plans.

“Nicola has a detailed knowledge of the gaming industry and is passionate about delivering a service excellence. I am confident that our customers will benefit enormously from her personal drive and positive approach to our business.”

The appointment comes after Blueprint in June also named Andy Mace, formerly head of casino at Bet365, as its new director of accounts.
