The Times and Daily Telegraph are reporting that William Hill are on the hunt for a new CEO, and current boss and 40 year employee at the firm, Ralph Topping will step down before year's end.

Topping has been CEO since 2008 and overseen some big changes at William Hill including aggressive growth of their digital business and expansion/acquisition into other markets...Spain, Australia etc.

Of course one of his smartest moves was supporting live dealers at William Hill; early adoption and concerted effort to be the biggest and best (Victor Chandler and the Coates family would probably disagree with this)
