Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor Casino operator the Rank Group has appointed banking sector veteran Chew Seong Aun, chief financial officer of investment fund Guoco Group, to its board as a non-executive director, replacing Tang Hong Cheong.
Chew had previously served as chief financial officer of Malaysia-based Hong Leong Financial Group, before stepping down last month to join Guoco, which holds a majority of Rank’s shares. In total, he has worked for more than 30 years in the banking sector.
“I am pleased to welcome Seong Aun to the Rank board,” Rank chairman Alex Thursby said. “Seong Aun brings a wealth of financial and commercial experience to the board and will be able to further enhance the good communication established between Rank and its major shareholder.”
