Sporting Index names Trim as new chief executive

Sporting Index Group has appointed Simon Trim as its new chief executive.

Trim will replace Warren Murphy, who last month announced that he was to step down as chief executive after seven years in the role.

Having joined Sporting Index 18 years ago, Trim has been serving as managing director of the firm’s Sporting Solutions B2B trading services arm since 2011.

“I am extremely proud and happy to be taking on the group CEO role of such a fantastic company,” Trim said.

“The Sporting Index Group has always been a quiet powerhouse within the gambling industry, offering a differentiated consumer betting product through Sporting Index and underpinning a lot of the recent in-play growth in the wider market through Sporting Solutions.

“It has never been in better shape to continue maximising its opportunities in the market, and I’m delighted to have been chosen to take it forward.”
