The Merger of Ladbrokes and Gala-Coral
Ladbrokes and Gala Coral are two major companies in the gambling industry. Nowadays, they are planning to merge together. Once the merger is finished by the end of the year, the company will be the largest gambling company in England. In order for the merge to take place, banks have been involved in the process.
Financially speaking, this is a very large merger. The two companies are both very large. When the two companies are together, they will have more than 2 billion euros in assets. For the deal to take place, money had to be loaned from banks. The money is going to be used in different sections rather than being loaned all at once. The new company is also going to have a singular stock that will be at London’s stock exchange.
The two companies are going to merge into a corporate entity called Ladbrokes Coral. This company is going to have 4,000 different places to bet through them. This means that they are going to be getting more clients than ever, and this could potentially increase their profits even further. The merger will mean that the two companies will no longer be working to reduce each other’s business.
This could have the effect of increasing business to more than sum of the profits of both the companies. This could potentially mean that what is now going to be a 2.35 billion euro company could turn into something even larger! The online gambling aspects of the companies are expected to improve after the merger, and this will likely lead to increased business.
Since Ladbrokes Coral is going to be a new, merged company, there is going to be new management. A new CEO will be coming on to the scene. His name is Andy Hornby. Andy Hornby has had plenty of past experience in the business world.
He was previously involved in the banking world, but his skill in managing the banking companies was questionable. This has led to those who are currently managing Ladbrokes and Gala Coral to wonder how he will do once he is managing the new, large enterprise.
This is going to be a major change to the world of gambling corporations. The new company is expected to be even larger than the company that is currently the largest British gambling company, William Hill. The new enterprise is likely to take the gambling world by storm.
That is assuming that the new CEO does a good job at running the company. There has been some question, but hopefully he does a good job as CEO. The two companies together are also expecting to be able to achieve greater success than either of them were able to get to individually, and this has been a primary motivating factor for the merger.
