Managing effective communications through an integration
William Hill is a British gambling company founded in 1934. With offices in London, Leeds and Gibraltar. William Hill has seen a huge amount of change over the last few years. it was acquired by Caesars Entertainment in April 2021 and was subsequently acquired by 888 Holdings in July 2022 for £2.2 billion.
Donna Dew, Head of UK & Corporate Functions People Director at William Hill approached us to help her find the right candidate to cover a maternity leave over a significant period of change in the organisation including the integration with 888.
We were delighted to place Julian who successfully managed their UK communications which includes their 1350+ shops.
Julian led on leadership comms, colleague engagement, internal comms to support major sporting events and managed the comms in the wake of the Queens passing.
“Julian juggled many competing priorities all with a smile and good humour bringing his personality and creativity to the role. He is an excellent writer and able to get the heart of a story using his journalistic skills. He was a well-liked member of the team who made a positive difference during his time with us.”
