Bengtsson said, "With the on-sale to Holdings due to be completed later next week, the time is right for me to say goodbye to William Hill and to hand over to Itai Pazner, CEO of Holdings.

With the acquisition of Mr Green in early , we created William Hill International and later that year, I was proud to take on the CEO role and lead the business to the great place it is today.
