Rising in the Ranks
William Hill has announced that the company has finally found a new CEO – it
only took five months of searching to discover that the right man for the job
has actually been working at Will Hill for decades. William Hill is a very
recognizable name in the online casino bookmakers industry and has recently
begun to extend the Will Hill brand into new sectors of the internet gambling
industry – sportsbetting to name just one. Will Hill has faced numerous
challenges over the past five months and despite the fact that Chairman Charles
Scott was acting as CEO until the company made an appropriate appointment, the
company will certainly benefit from clear leadership and a long-term vision to
get through the current troubles.
David Harding was the previous CEO at Will Hill – and had done great things for
the online casino gambling and betting group. Harding though stepped down from
the position in September of 2007 and since that point the company has been
looking for a suitable replacement. The fact that it took five months to appoint
a new CEO to replace Harding speaks to the company’s commitment to ensuring that
the new CEO is well suited to lead the company for the years to come.
The new CEO is Ralph Topping, who has been working for Will Hill since 1973 in
various capacities. He has a broad range of knowledge about the online casino
gambling and betting group having worked in several different departments.
Topping remarked on his appointment and future plans for the company, I look
forward to leading the company as chief executive, and to working with the board
and management team. We will build on the company's successes and drive the
company forward." |
