The digital gambling and betting shop operator, sponsor of Monday’s Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse in Co Meath, confirmed that Mark Kemp is joining the group as its new CEO.
He will replace Conor Gray, who will be appointed commercial director, focused on continuing to expand Boylesports in Ireland, Britain and further afield, the group said.
During that time he led the company’s local and international growth, including agreeing a strategic alliance with Tote Ireland last year. Kemp also oversaw UK Tote’s launch of new digital bets, its development of a technology system and a rebranding of the business.
Before joining UK Tote, Kemp was managing director of Ladbrokes Coral, formed from the merger of two British bookmaking chains.
John Boyle, founder and chairman of BoyleSports, said: “There are few people within the industry with Mark’s digital leadership expertise, which is a critical channel of growth for BoyleSports. His appointment as Boylesports chief executive gave him an opportunity to lead an already strong business with its own technology and experienced teams."
