Gaming Realms appoints former Ladbrokes CEO to board
Chris Bell to join AIM-listed firm as non-executive director
Gaming Realms has appointed former Ladbrokes chief executive Chris Bell to its board as a non-executive director.
Bell, who joins with immediate effect, held the Lads top job from 2006 to 2010, and holds a non-executive role at the Responsible Gambling Strategy Board.
He is also currently chairman of affiliate firm XLMedia Plc and the senior independent director of The Rank Group.
Michael Buckley, chairman of Gaming Realms said: “We are delighted that Chis has agreed to join the company. He brings a wealth of experience of the gaming industry and extensive corporate knowledge which will help us to develop the Company further. We welcome him and greatly look forward to working with him.”
The AIM-listed Gaming Realms last month reported a 5% increase in H1 revenue to £15.7m. EBITDA was at -£0.9m, but the firm said it expects to swing to profit in H2.
