Media Relations Director of Ladbrokes steps down

d Williams, long-term Media Relations Director of Ladbrokes, recently confirmed via business network LinkedIn that he has stepped down from his position.

“Heading up the PR charge with Ladbrokes was a real privilege but it now feels like a perfect time to explore new opportunities. Working to ensure the Ladbrokes brand was celebrated and recognised throughout consumer media and corporate comms has been wonderful, and

I’m proud of the role I played in helping to lead the business through some challenging and exciting times over the years.”

Williams detailed that he would take time out of the betting and gaming sector in order to re-assess his future career options.
