Kirsty is a relatively new friend to GRS – we discovered her via a compelling episode of The Gambling Files podcast, where her tale of starting up her own highly successful compliance consultancy stood out partly for the humble approach she took to describing it.

Since, we’ve met many times and shared industry news – well, gossip sometimes – and the odd adult beverage.   Kirsty’s company, Betsmart Consulting, are doing a great job with operators and regulators all over the world and Kirsty herself is a regular speaker at events all over the place.

A refreshingly straightforward Northern approach to work ties in well with an incredible contact book, and we’ve tried to help each other with connections across both our specialities.   Kirsty in fact connected Paul with what has become an excellent contact in South Africa, so there’s a dinner owed there somewhere. Kirsty’s husband Dan Bradley is also an industry veteran, and if he’s ever available, will be a star of GRS’ books who we’d love to place.
