New CEO for Online Casinos Group?
William Hill is a popular online casinos and gambling group operating in the UK.
The company is well respected in the internet gambling industry and has several
major projects scheduled for 2008. The company has two main concerns for the
2008 year – to finalize the planned sportsbetting site, and to hire a new CEO
for the company. At this point the online casinos company has spent more than
seven months in search of a individual to head operations at Will Hill.
For those in the online casinos industry looking for Will Hill to quickly make a
decision – well don’t hold your breath. The company’s Executive Chairman,
Charles Scott, has announced that while the company " may not be miles away…it's
not going to happen in the next couple of weeks." Will Hill has stiff
competition in the online casinos industry from other prominent companies like
Paddy Power and Ladbrokes. These companies are similarly involved in land and
internet gambling as well as expanding into the sportsbetting industry.
The online casinos gambling industry has linked several prominent names in the
gambling industry with the position as CEO of William Hill, but at this point it
seems as though the they are all just speculation. The current and previous
heads of major competitors are allegedly under consideration though Scott
laughed off several suggestions, such as John O’Reilly of Ladbrokes, Ian Penrose
of Sportech, and Wilf Walsh formerly of Coral, among others.
