Will is well known thanks to his appearance on Strictly but more importantly he has a fascinating life story which includes a period at the Brit School for performing arts as well as receiving the MBE in 2017.
His motto of ‘Inspire: Believe: Achieve’ resonates with the philosophy that drives our management team, a team which I genuinely believe to be the very best in the industry. Drawing on the experience of successful individuals from completely different backgrounds is illuminating and inspirational and I am looking forward to listening to and learning from Will’s story.”
He added: “The Managers Conference is a valuable opportunity to bring the senior team together to review the past year which has been challenging in many ways and also to look ahead to the challenges and opportunities of 2023. We have an outstanding team committed to delivering the very best socially responsible low stake low prize gambling entertainment experience to the tens of thousands of customers who come through our doors every week of the year.”
