Spearing To Retire From William Hill 

London-based online and land-based bookmaker William Hill has announced that Ian Spearing, the firm’s Director of Corporate Affairs, is to retire at the end of the year.

The British firm revealed that Spearing’s duties would be shared among the existing members of its executive management team following the 61-year-old’s retirement.

“Ian joined William Hill 18 years ago and was appointed to the board in April of 2007,” said Charles Scott, Chairman for William Hill.

“During his tenure he fulfilled a number of significant roles, including working with the Government and the bookmaking industry in relation to taxation, regulation and issues involving the relationship with horse and greyhound racing. His experience and contribution to the company will be greatly missed and we wish him a long and happy retirement.”
