Sports betting software specialist Metric Gaming has strengthened its London team with the appointment of a new chief operating officer, chief financial officer and trading director.

Metric marks London opening with new faces

Former Betfair and William Hill director Jim Supple joins as COO, while new CFO, Steven Paterson, was previously finance director of William Hill’s retail division.

Sam Foulkes, former Coral trading chief, has become Metric’s new trading director.

New COO Supple said: “This is an exciting time to be joining Metric, and the opening of the London office signifies the company’s expanding ambitions.

“I was drawn to Metric for its unique technology and talented personnel, and very much look forward to working with new additions Steven and Sam, whose experience will be key to the company's future success.”

The opening of the London headquarters and appointment of the three new executives comes as Metric continues its transition from pure provider of in-play systems to supplying a complete sportsbook service.
