Tim Newing, IT director at Camelot, is to take over as
head of IT at easyJet, following a six-year career with the
National Lottery company.
Newing, who will take over as IT director at easyJet from late
August, is making the move after overseeing a series of major IT
investments at Camelot. He moved to Camelot in December 2000 as
head of projects and networks from lottery IT supplier Gtech UK,
becoming Camelot’s IT director in March 2002.
Newing was responsible for moving Camelot’s network of National
Lottery terminals to ISDN, creating Europe’s largest ISDN network,
in 2003.
He was also in charge of the roll out of the National Lottery on
the internet, digital TV and mobile phones. More recently, he
oversaw the launch of National Lottery Fast Pay, which allows
shoppers to buy lottery tickets at supermarket checkouts.
“I hope I have helped to put Camelot in a strong position as it
prepares to bid for the third lottery licence. But now it is time
for a new challenge,” Newing said.
