Our shops offer real potential to modernise the in-person experience for our customers as we converge the Online and Retail technology platforms.

Retail summary

William Hill has announced plans to close 700 shops, putting 4,500 jobs at risk, and blamed the government’s decision to slash stakes on fixed-odds betting terminals. Founded in the UK in 1934, William Hill is a recognised and trusted brand in the global sports betting and gaming market. We employ more than 12,000 people in 10 countries globally and are unified by our Group value to always ‘Go one better’. William Hill will start to reopen its UK betting shops bit by bit in the second half of the year as it keeps an eye on developments in the US.

Covid-19 had the greatest impact on Retail during the year with the closure of all shops from 20 March until 15 June followed by localised closures before the second nationwide closure in England from 4 November to 2 December. Even when open, shops were often subject to restrictions on trade such as no live sport and a maximum of two gaming machines. As a result of the first lockdown 119 shops were not re-opened leaving an estate of 1,414 shops at the end of the year.

On a statutory basis, net revenue was down 51% year on year as a result of the pandemic, as well as trading over one quarter of pre-£2 stake limit implementation and the closure of 713 shops at the end of the third quarter in 2019. Using a like-for-like⁵ measure of performance based on shops that were trading in the same weeks in both years, delivered a net revenue performance of -30%.
