Mr Grant will leave his role before the end of 2022 for a planned career break to spend more time with his family after more than 20 years in the online gambling sector…

The departure follows recent reports that Flutter plans to close over 10 of its bookmakers in Ireland due to gambling interest migrating online during the pandemic.

Ian Brown, former CEO of Booking.com’s Trips division will join Flutter in September and succeed Mr Grant, assuming responsibility for the Paddy Power, Sky Betting and Gaming, Betfair and Tombola brands in the UK and Ireland.
