  • Media Statement
    Media statement 10 years since the birth of Echo 3 June 2021 This year marks the 10-year anniversary since Echo Entertainment Group Limited was officially listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 6 June 2011, following its demerger from Tabcorp Holdings Limited. As part of the demerger, Echo took on Tabcorp’s casino properties across Queensland and New South Wales. On 4 November 2015, shareholders approved a decision to change the parent company name to ‘The Star Entertainment Group Limited’, allowing a seamless transition to ‘The Star’ identity being adopted consistently across its three properties. Two of the company’s longstanding Queensland-based executives, Geoff Hogg and Paula Martin, share some memories as they look back on the company’s relatively short yet transformational journey so far. Geoff Hogg, Chief Casino Officer QLD, The Star Entertainment Group Bio Geoff Hogg is the Chief Casino Officer QLD for The Star Entertainment Group. He joined Tabcorp Holdings in 2008 and today his portfolio includes overseeing Treasury Brisbane, The Star Gold Coast and its expansion, the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort situated in Main Beach, and the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane integrated resort development currently being built in Brisbane’s CBD. On behalf of the Queensland Government, The Star Entertainment Group also manages the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre. Geoff is also a member of the Responsible Gambling Advisory Committee, a director on the National Retail Association, and a member of Major Events Gold Coast. Q&A How would you describe the evolution of the company from those early years? • In addition to our Sydney property’s transformation and the opening of its new assets, those early years of Echo focused heavily on planning for opportunities in Queensland.
