William Hill’s head of safer gambling Dan Whitlam has confirmed that he has stepped down from the company after holding his position since February 2019.
During his time with the operator, Whitlam held responsibility for the implementation of the operator’s responsible gambling strategy across its UK retail estate, which included driving William Hill’s product and marketing offerings in a move to promote responsible gambling measures.
Ciaran O’Brien, director of corporate communications, has also confirmed that he will leave William Hill after five years at the company.
O’Brien played an integral role in establishing the operator’s responsible gambling strategy while also being pivotal stakeholder in establishing the Betting and Gaming Council.
I have been very lucky to work with some great people in the sector @Ladbrokes and @WilliamHill as well as the @BetGameCouncil and look forward to @CheltenhamRaces 2020 – to say that to people in person! https://t.co/mirRQmVFRK
