Thorne has joined the company last January and played a significant part in the transition of the organisation into an independent betting and gaming plc following the disposal of the Hilton International hotels division.
Brian Wallace, formerly Deputy CEO and Group Finance Director of Hilton
Group plc will rejoin the company as Group Finance Director with immediate effect.
Brian was retained by Hilton Hotels Corporation following the sale of Hilton
International.
Prior to that, Wallace held senior positions in Geest and Schlumberger. He is currently the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director at Hays and a Non-Executive Director of Scottish & Newcastle.
Commenting on the announcement Ladbrokes CEO Christopher Bell said: “I would like to thank Rosemary for the valuable contribution she has made and wish her every success for the future. The appointment of Brian will further strengthen the management team, particularly given his retail knowledge and international experience."
