liers OpenBet have appointed Jeremy Thompson-Hill as their new chief executive.

Thompson-Hill is promoted from the position of chief operating officer, a role he had held since 2008, having initially joined the company in 1999 in a sales and operational capacity.

Thompson-Hill added: “I look forward to driving the company forward together with my management team and will focus on what we do best – developing industry-leading technology that delivers innovative solutions for our customers on every level.”
