In the framework of the company's efforts to reduce its debt while boosting its global growth, which includes a number of significant movements, 888 has announced hitting the refresh button on its senior leadership. For instance, at the beginning of August, the business expanded its position in Africa by acquiring sportsbook BetLion through 888's partially-owned 888AFRICA entity, following the launch of 888-owned casino brand Mr Green in Germany.
The £2.2 billion purchase of William Hill from Caesars Entertainment, a move intended to establish a global industry leader but which also resulted in significant debt for the business, has been largely responsible for the change in senior leadership.
