Lorraine worked in central Government for many years. A large part of her career was spent as a highly successful project manager in the UK’s largest government department.

Her experience in dealing with betting integrity and match fixing started in 2011, when she was asked to join Gambling Commission of Great Britain to set up the Joint Assessment Unit (JAU) for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Following the success of the JAU, Lorraine then went on to help establish and run the UK’s National Platform, including the formation of the Sports Betting Integrity Forum.

Lorraine’s background in betting integrity has led to successful collaborations with sports bodies, law enforcement agencies, gambling regulators and betting operators, at both a national and global level. She has been responsible for delivering projects including the production of risk assessments, training and education workshops, regulatory development and producing the UK’s national betting integrity strategy.

She is particularly proud of her work in protecting the integrity of major international sporting events, including the 2015 Rugby World Cup and the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Lorraine made significant contributions to the delivery of pre-event testing, the development of support processes and the production post-event evaluation reports.

Lorraine has hosted several successful events on behalf of the UK’s National Platform and spoken at a number of national and international conferences.

Lorraine has also represented the UK on several international projects related to sports corruption, including her role as a lead member on the Council of Europe’s (CoE) Keep Crime out of Sport project. As an independent consultant, Lorraine led the project to update the CoE’s Typology Framework – a ground-breaking tool classifying the different types of competition manipulation.
