Andy Burton

Last October, The Very Group announced that its Chief Technology Officer, Andy Burton, would be leaving in February 2021 to take on a new role in another sector.

Burton joined him in 2019 from The Stars Group, an online gaming specialist, where he became a director after a merger with Sky Betting and Gaming in 2018.

The Very Group announced this when it reported a return to profit and its first ever revenue of over £ 2 billion.

Formerly known as Shop Direct, it owns the Very and Littlewoods brands.
