"On behalf of the board, I would like to thank David Allvey for his many years' service to William Hill. His contribution has been invaluable during a period of significant development for the group from its flotation through the Stanley acquisition, which made William Hill the UK's number one bookmaker, to the establishment and development of William Hill Online."
