“I am looking forward to helping shape the next chapter of growth for SBG as part of The Stars Group,” said Flint. “I am confident that the new management structure, which includes an operational board for SBG, will allow us to maintain our unique culture that has delivered success over the years and continue delivering market share gains in the UK online betting and gaming market, building on our position as the UK’s most popular online betting brand.”

Flint has been with SBG for nearly 16 years and has served as CEO for the last 10. He has over 20 years’ experience in online businesses, starting as a Channel Director at FT.com and then as Product Director of online start-up flutter.com, which merged with Betfair in 2001. He was appointed as SBG’s Chief Financial Officer in 2008. From 1993 until he joined SBG, Proctor held a series of senior finance roles at Sky plc.
