Aristocrat adds more support to European base

A qualified Chartered Accountant, Tim Howells joined the Aristocrat group in 2002, previously working in the Risk & Audit department. “It is a very exciting time to be joining Aristocrat Technologies Europe,” he said. “I look forward to working together with the team here to help grow and develop the business.”

David Wall will be responsible for analysing the company's major business processes and developing systems to help improve Aristocrat's internal and external functions. “It is with an air of expectancy that I join Aristocrat to help review and align processes,” he explained. “My role is to ensure we have a solid bedrock on which to build ongoing success and growth.”

Tim and David are the second and third key executive appointments since Nick Khin took charge of Aristocrat Technologies Europe in January. The Executive General Manager for the EMEA region has now permanently relocated to the United Kingdom. He explained: “We have set ourselves very challenging targets over the next 12-36 months, not just in terms of sales across the three brands of Aristocrat, PokerPro® and ACE Interactive, but also throughout every customer-facing facet of our business. It's extremely important that we have an infrastructure that can fully meet the demands of future growth, and these latest appointments will help strengthen the service and support we offer our customers going forward."
