Bowcock has
been acting as interim William Hill leader following the departure of James
Henderson last July. William Hill governance is expected to confirm its
leadership appointment this Friday along with the firms ‘full-year’ 2016
financial statement.
William Hill’s board has faced stakeholder criticism for its lengthy nine-month
search in finding a new leader, with UK news sources reporting that the firm
had been rebuffed by a number of candidates.
Industry analysts and William Hill investors are eagerly awaiting the report, as William Hill governance is expected to further detail the firm’s recovery plan amid a well-documented decline in its digital verticals.
The
potential sale of William Hill hit business headlines this February, with
London hedge fund Parvus Asset Management the operator’s biggest shareholder
(14%) publicly stating that it wanted to push for a 2017 sale of the company.
