Duncan takes helm at National Lottery firm Camelot
He will take over next month as UK managing director at Camelot, meaning he will have responsibility for the National Lottery and its 700 staff.
Duncan joined Rolls-Royce and Bentley dealer HR Owen last October in a shock switch away from television, where he was head of Channel 4 for five years.
