Raise the stakes

William Hill bookmakers topped up their compliancy services order from CLM to test portable appliances and emergency lighting in an extra 580 shops.

CLM engineers begin testing over 1,000 William Hill shops this year for electrical safety compliance across the north of England under the new £130,000 contract.

CLM regional sales manager Alistair Brownlie said: “Like William Hill, we aim to deliver an unrivalled service through our expertise, passion and commitment.”

William Hill has around 2,300 betting shops across the UK and Ireland, with operations also in Israel and Bulgaria to employ over 15,000 people in total. Most of the shops are open seven days a week, 12 hours a day. While on-line gaming grows, over-the-counter betting and gaming machines still account for approximately 80% of William Hill’s annual gross win.
