Sportingbet plc has appointed Peter Dicks as non-executive chairman and James Wilkinson as group finance director with effect from 1 February 2008.
Dicks, 65, was previously non-executive chairman of the online sports betting and gaming group from January 2000 to 14 September 2006. Wilkinson, 41, has previously been group finance director of Johnson Service Group plc from 2004 - 2007. Prior to that he worked at Informa Group plc for ten years in a variety of roles culminating in the position of group finance director from 1998 - 2004. He started his career at Touche Ross where he qualified as a chartered accountant in 1991. Andrew McIver, CEO of Sportingbet (LSE:SBT), said that the group had now largely finished a significant restructuring of the business subsequent to its complete exit from the US market following the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act in October 2006. “With these two appointments we complete the personnel changes we wished to make as part of that restructuring,” McIver said.
