SolutionsHub hires ex‑Isle of Man GSC inspector Tommy Corlett

SolutionsHub has appointed Tommy Corlett as its Head of Regulatory Assurance and Remediation, the firm announced on 14 October 2026. Corlett moves to the consultancy after nine years at the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission, where he began as a Gaming Inspector and progressed to Senior Inspector for AML/CFT Inspections in November 2023. SolutionsHub said he will support licensing, assurance and remediation work for operators entering regulated markets and managing ongoing compliance.

Background: a nine‑year regulatory track record

Tommy Corlett spent nine years at the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC). He started his tenure as a Gaming Inspector and, in November 2023, took on the Senior Inspector role focused on AML/CFT Inspections. In that capacity he evaluated whether firms were meeting their anti‑money‑laundering and counter‑financing‑of‑terrorism obligations by testing controls, identifying weaknesses and determining remediation priorities. The move to SolutionsHub transfers that regulatory inspection experience into a consultancy setting.

What the Head of Regulatory Assurance and Remediation role covers

SolutionsHub said Corlett will work with clients entering regulated markets and online gambling businesses managing ongoing compliance, supporting licensing, assurance and remediation work. The job title and the announcement indicate three practical streams of activity:

• licensing support for operators seeking authorisation in new jurisdictions;

• assurance activities that test controls and evidence ahead of regulator scrutiny; and

• remediation projects that address identified gaps and produce regulatory‑grade evidence.

Those streams reflect the work Corlett led at the GSC, where assessing controls and prioritising fixes were core responsibilities. His experience reviewing evidence for regulatory controls is central to the role the firm described.

Why SolutionsHub says the hire matters for clients

Lee Hills, chief executive officer of SolutionsHub, explained the rationale behind the recruitment in the company's statement.

"Tommy has spent nine years looking at businesses from the regulator's side of the table, so he knows exactly what gets tested and where firms can come unstuck. His experience is going to be incredibly useful for our clients. He knows what regulators expect to see, how they test it and what happens when the evidence does not stack up. We're really pleased to have him with us. He'll make a huge difference to the work we're doing around assurance and remediation." — Lee Hills, Chief Executive Officer, SolutionsHub

Hills framed Corlett's value as practical knowledge of regulator testing methods and expectations. For operators preparing for inspections, that knowledge translates into clearer evidence trails and remediation plans targeted at the weaknesses inspectors typically identify.

Corlett’s own statement on the move

Corlett set out his reasons for leaving the regulator and joining a consultancy.

"After nine years at the GSC, I am ready to use my experience in a different way and help businesses understand what regulators are actually looking for when they test something in practice. What appealed to me about SolutionsHub was the focus on evidence and on sorting problems properly when something needs fixing. I'm really looking forward to working with Lee and the team and getting stuck into the work with operators." — Tommy Corlett

He emphasised the practical application of his inspection experience: translating regulator expectations into remediation actions and evidence that will withstand scrutiny.

Practical implications for operators and entrants to regulated markets

Operators preparing for licence applications or periodic inspections commonly need help in three areas where Corlett has direct experience:

1. Evidence review: validating that policies, procedures and controls produce auditable records.

2. Control testing: simulating the sorts of tests inspectors run to identify gaps before a regulator does.

3. Remediation prioritisation: setting a pragmatic order for fixes that addresses the most material failures first.

SolutionsHub positions those services for both businesses entering regulated markets and existing licensees managing ongoing compliance. For firms seeking external help, the new hire signals the consultancy's intent to expand hands‑on assurance work, including preparing documentary evidence and remediation plans that reflect regulator inspection practice.

Where this hire sits in the market and next steps for clients

The appointment follows a broader industry pattern of consultancies recruiting former regulators to strengthen assurance and remediation offerings. SolutionsHub did not disclose client names or specific market targets in its announcement. The firm said Corlett will support licensing, assurance and remediation work "based on his experience reviewing evidence for regulatory controls and identifying gaps ahead of scrutiny." That description suggests his initial assignments will include evidence reviews and pre‑inspection testing for operators targeting established regulated markets.

Operators that want to test their AML/CFT frameworks and documentary evidence ahead of a licence application can expect to work through structured reviews and testing cycles. Vendors and platform providers supporting those operators may need to supply access to logs, transaction records and control documentation during the review. SolutionsHub’s statements position the consultancy as a single point for consolidating those materials and turning inspection findings into a formal remediation plan.

How to access SolutionsHub services and why evidence matters

Regulatory inspections typically pivot on documentary proof that controls operate as described. Corlett’s background in AML/CFT Inspections at the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission makes evidence validation a likely early focus of his work at SolutionsHub. Operators should expect the consultancy to examine source documents, transaction monitoring outputs and governance records when preparing for scrutiny.

For readers focused on regulatory developments, this hire is relevant to licensing and compliance workflows. SolutionsHub's announcement also points to demand for external assurance work as more operators enter or expand within regulated markets. For detailed consultancy offerings and case studies, operators often consult marketplaces and specialist advisory boutiques in the b2b and regulation sections.

Summary

SolutionsHub has strengthened its regulatory assurance capability by hiring former Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission inspector Tommy Corlett as Head of Regulatory Assurance and Remediation. Corlett joins after nine years at the regulator, most recently as Senior Inspector for AML/CFT Inspections from November 2023, and will work on licensing, assurance and remediation projects for operators entering regulated markets or maintaining compliance.
