"The decision to grant a large casino licence to Genting UK is excellent and welcomed news," said The NEC Group chief executive Paul Thandi.
"I look forward to supporting the Genting UK team through the remaining elements of the process, in particular in securing a planning approval.
A successful outcome to that work will result in Resorts World at The NEC opening around the start of 2014, when it will represent a fabulous addition not only to the NEC site, but also to the region as a whole"
